Fog or condensation on the glass that does not clear.
The compressor runs constantly or short-cycles.
Lights out, or the case is much louder than it used to be.
Gaskets on the doors are worn, so the case runs hard and sweats.

FAQ

Questions about display case repair

Ice throughout the case usually means the evaporator fan is not working, so the coil frosts over. A low refrigerant charge can also freeze the coil. The technician lets the ice melt, cleans the coils and drain lines, checks the fan and sets the pressures so the coil does not freeze again.

Start with clearance: a display case needs space from the wall so air can circulate. If clearance is fine, the usual causes are a worn door gasket, a failed fan, a dirty condenser, a thermostat problem or a refrigerant leak.

Power problems are most often wiring, a failed start component or a voltage issue tripping the breaker. The technician checks the outlet, the wiring and the ground, then the compressor start components. Many of these repairs take minutes once diagnosed.

$150 for the commercial service call and diagnostic, with the repair cost quoted before any work begins. Our technicians try to repair the case on the same day.

Dirt, grease and dust build up on the compressor and condenser and shorten their life. We recommend an inspection and cleaning about every three months for busy stores, and we offer preventive maintenance to cover it.
