Setpoint Services repaired a commercial walk-in freezer at Tony & Luigi's in Georgetown, Texas after the customer reported the freezer was no longer maintaining proper temperature.
Inspection of the refrigeration system found the refrigerant sight glass flashing, indicating a low refrigerant charge. The condenser coil was also heavily soiled, reducing heat rejection and increasing refrigeration system operating temperatures.
The condenser coil was chemically cleaned and the refrigeration system was charged with one pound of R-404A refrigerant. After charging, the sight glass cleared completely, confirming proper liquid refrigerant flow through the system. The evaporator coil was inspected and found free of ice accumulation, verifying proper airflow through the freezer.
The walk-in freezer was monitored following repairs and verified to be cooling normally before leaving the site.
During the inspection, the walk-in freezer door was found unable to close completely. The customer was advised that repairing or adjusting the door is recommended because warm air infiltration can significantly reduce refrigeration efficiency, increase compressor run time, and lead to future refrigeration problems.
Routine commercial refrigeration maintenance helps restaurants reduce energy costs while extending compressor life.
Status:
Walk-in freezer returned to normal operation following condenser cleaning and refrigerant charging.
