Service Tips > Refrigeration

• Coolers should run between 35 and 40 deg F°
• Evaporator (in the cooler) drain pans and lines should be cleaned quarterly to prevent backup.
• Condensers should be chemically cleaned 3 to 4 times per year.
• Door and Drawer gaskets should be washed with warm soapy water weekly for sanitary reasons and to prevent pre-mature damage and failure.
• Hinges and all hardware should be adjusted and tightened as needed to prevent permanent damage.
• Door gaskets should seal completely with no air gaps.
• Never block condensers with cardboard, plastic wrap, or anything that may cause air restriction.
• Never place heated product in refrigerators, they are not designed for anything except storage.
• Do not overstock units; they will suffer from improper air flow.
• Cold pans should never be more than 2/3 full and have all spaces covered (no gaps).
• Call for service if you see ice in refrigeration equipment, there is a problem with the unit that requires a technician.
• Freezers have a defrost cycle so wait for at least an hour to see if they recover to the correct temperature.
• Ice on walk-in doors is a sign that the door heater is malfunctioning; call for service.
