Understanding common refrigeration issues can help you maintain your equipment and avoid costly repairs. Here are some of the most frequent problems:
1. Temperature Fluctuations
Unit runs, but struggles to maintain temperature and longer temperature pull-down periods after the temperature has risen or the fans may be running with seemingly no refrigeration.
2. Water Pooling
May even blow mist onto refrigerated goods or flood or pool water. Common causes are clogged condensate drains and drain pan exits.
3. Ice Buildup
Some Possible Causes:
-Improper refrigerant charge
-Defrost Cycle Problems
-Poor drain pan drainage
-Insufficient heat transfer (bad fans, dirty and/or frosted coils)
