Commercial Refrigerator Not Cooling
A warm cabinet needs a clear operating history before anyone assumes the compressor has failed. Compare what staff noticed during service with what happened after doors stayed closed.

Understanding the concern
A warm cabinet needs a clear operating history before anyone assumes the compressor has failed. Compare what staff noticed during service with what happened after doors stayed closed.
What to record before calling
- Record the displayed reading and a separate thermometer reading with the time.
- Identify whether one cabinet or several are affected.
- Note recent loading, door traffic, alarms, and unusual sounds.
What the service assessment can cover
A service assessment can distinguish airflow, door sealing, controls, and refrigeration-system concerns. Describe whether the cabinet never reaches its normal setting or only struggles during the busiest period.
Should I turn the temperature setting lower?
A lower setting does not explain why cooling changed. Record the current setting and observations, and arrange an assessment if performance remains unreliable.
