Walk-In Cooler Repair Project in East Dundee, IL
Legacy Refrigeration recently responded to a service call at East Dundee, IL, regarding a Kolpak walk-in cooler experiencing temperature issues and ice buildup on the evaporator coil. The cooler was holding at 48°F, far above the optimal temperature range.
Upon arriving on-site, we immediately defrosted the evaporator coil to clear the ice. Once the coil was defrosted, we checked the system pressures, which were expected for an R22 medium-temperature system. The system set point was configured correctly at 34°F, and after reaching this temperature, the cooler shut off as intended.
Next, we inspected the defrost timer and discovered it was hanging loosely from the control box by its wires. Further examination revealed black marks on one of the brass terminals, indicating that the timer had likely shorted out at some point. This malfunction caused the walk-in cooler to freeze because the system could not defrost properly.
After testing the defrost clock for functionality, we confirmed it was no longer operational. We replaced the faulty defrost timer and set the defrost parameters to cycle for 30 minutes every 6 hours, as was the original configuration. We cycled through a defrost sequence to verify the new timer’s functionality, and everything worked smoothly.
The cooler returned to regular operation, and the test run was satisfactory.
