- evaporator/defrost faults leading to ice buildup or warm running
- door gasket and hinge wear on prep-table lids and reach-in doors
- temperature-control drift on sandwich/salad pans not holding safe food temps
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Worth checking yourself first: check the breaker hasn't tripped and the unit's overload protector hasn't kicked out, since both can look like a dead compressor.
