Beer Cooler Repair Project in Elmwood Park, IL
Legacy Refrigeration recently responded to a service call in Elmwood Park, IL, where a True reach-in beer cooler failed to hold the desired temperature below 40°F. When we arrived on site, we found the cooler operating at 45°F, higher than the safe range for storing beverages.
Our first step was to check the evaporator for any ice buildup, but none was present. We then removed the condenser access panel and immediately noticed excessive heat discharge coming from the intake grill. Upon closer inspection, we discovered that the condenser coil was completely covered in dirt, blocking airflow and causing the system to overheat. When airflow is restricted in this manner, the cooler loses BTU capacity and can no longer cool effectively.
We quickly cleaned the condenser coil using Viper expanding foam cleaner, followed by a light rinse to ensure the surface was clear of debris. Once the coil was clean, the cooler’s temperature began to drop rapidly, and the system was eventually satisfied at a chilly 33°F, perfect for beer storage.
To prevent issues like this in the future, we recommend scheduling routine maintenance for your refrigeration system. Annual maintenance is essential, but biannual inspections and cleanings are even better to ensure long-term performance and avoid unnecessary service calls like this one.
