Commercial Refrigeration Maintenance in Bothell, WA

Coil cleaning is first on our list for a reason: everything downstream runs better once the compressor is not fighting a layer of built-up grease. Skip it and the cost just shifts onto your power bill instead.

Fan blades get checked by hand, not by ear. A unit can sound perfectly normal while a weak fan motor quietly causes the same warm spots and uneven cooling people usually blame on refrigerant.

We cycle the defrost system through an actual test rather than trust that no visible ice means everything is fine. Defrost failures build slowly, and slow is exactly what makes them invisible until they are not.

Beyond the gasket itself, we check what is holding it in place. A loose hinge can undo good rubber just as easily as a torn seal can, and it is the part most people never think to inspect.

On older units, what the controller displays and what the box actually holds can drift apart without anyone noticing. We check both numbers, since a warm reading is a food safety concern before it is ever a repair concern.

A drain line running slow eventually becomes a puddle on the floor, and a puddle becomes a liability. Clearing it now, during a routine visit, is a five-minute fix instead of an emergency call later.

Contactors and relays do not give much notice before they fail. That is exactly why we check them for heat damage on every visit rather than waiting for something to actually go wrong.
