Walk-In Cooler Repair
A walk-in cooler running warm or completely down puts inventory and health-code compliance at risk. Roxly diagnoses the real cause — refrigerant, airflow, or the door itself — before recommending a repair.
What we check first
Running Warm
Condenser cleanliness, evaporator fan operation, and refrigerant charge.
Door Not Sealing
Gasket condition, hinge alignment, and door sweep.
Ice or Frost Buildup
Evaporator coil icing, defrost cycle, and drain-line clogs.
Walk-in cooler repair questions
Why is my walk-in cooler running warm?
The most common causes are a dirty or blocked condenser coil, a failing evaporator fan, a low refrigerant charge, or a door seal that's no longer holding a tight closure. A technician checks all four before recommending a repair.
Can a bad door gasket really cause temperature problems?
Yes. A worn or torn gasket lets warm, humid air into the box continuously, which forces the compressor to run longer and can lead to evaporator coil icing over time.
How often should a walk-in cooler be serviced?
Most commercial kitchens benefit from a preventive maintenance visit every 3-6 months, more often in high-traffic or grease-heavy environments where condenser coils foul faster.
