Reach-In Cooler Repair in Libertyville, IL
Legacy Refrigeration recently responded to a service call in Libertyville, IL, for a True reach-in cooler leaking water and not cooling properly. With the system holding at 50°F and an evaporator coil frozen over, we knew immediate action was needed to restore proper function.
Diagnosing the Issue
Upon arrival, we inspected the unit and found that the water was not properly draining, contributing to the ice buildup. Before defrosting the coil, we cleared the clogged drain to ensure excess water would properly discharge and prevent future leaks.
Once the drain was cleared, we defrosted the evaporator coil to determine the root cause of the issue. After testing the system, we found that the cold control (thermostat) had failed, keeping the system running continuously. When a unit cycles without shutting off, the evaporator coil can freeze, preventing proper airflow and cooling.
Another potential cause of evaporator freezing is low refrigerant levels due to a freon leak, but after inspecting the system, we confirmed this was not the issue.
Restoring Functionality
We promptly replaced the faulty thermostat, allowing the system to cycle correctly. Once the repair was complete, the cooler quickly pulled down to 35°F, restoring its ability to maintain safe food storage temperatures.
As part of our service, we also performed routine reach-in cooler maintenance to ensure all other components were in good working condition. No additional deficiencies were found, meaning the client’s cooler returned to peak performance.
