Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the walk-in freezer under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.
Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so leaking water is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your walk-in freezer to catch wear before it becomes leaking water.
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of leaking water in supermarkets cold chains.
