Commercial Refrigeration Maintenance in Shoreline, WA

Skip coil cleaning long enough and you will see it on the power bill before you see it anywhere else. A dirty coil forces the compressor to work overtime for the same result, day after day. We clean coils every visit as a baseline, not an upsell.

Most people blame refrigerant when a unit has warm spots, but a bad evaporator fan or blocked airflow causes the same symptoms far more often. We check actual fan operation and blade condition here, not just whether the unit sounds fine.

A defrost fault hides well. The heater, timer, and thermostat can be slowly failing for weeks before ice buildup becomes visible enough to notice, which is exactly why we run a full cycle test instead of a visual check.

It is not just the gasket. Loose hinges or a worn closer can hold an otherwise fine seal open just enough to leak air, and that is the part people miss when they only look at the rubber.

We do not just trust the digital readout. The actual box temperature gets checked against what the controller reports, since those numbers can drift apart on older equipment, and a warm reading is a food safety issue before it is anything else.

A slow drain eventually means water on the floor, a slip hazard and a health code problem in one. Catching it during a scheduled visit takes five minutes. Catching it after the fact takes a lot longer.

Electrical components do not usually warn you before they fail. We check contactors, relays, and connection points for heat damage every visit specifically because that is often the only warning you get.
