Why your Kolpak walk-in freezer is not freezing

A Kolpak walk-in freezer that is not freezing tends to show the same signs: freezer compartment stays above 0°F. Common causes: defrost thermostat, evaporator fan, sealed-system leak. Nine times out of ten it comes down to failed temperature sensor. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

  • A weak or failing compressor
  • Defrost thermostat or heater failure
  • A clogged defrost drain
  • Blocked air vents between compartments

Known Kolpak walk-in freezer weak points

  • door gasket and hinge/closer wear
  • evaporator coil icing and defrost faults
  • condensing-unit compressor failures
  • cam-lock panel joint misalignment and air gaps

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

Do this first — it takes two minutes: listen for the evaporator fan running when the door's closed, since a silent fan is a common first sign. Should that not clear it, it's usually a defrost heater, sensor, or sealed-system fault, and diagnosing those needs a multimeter and refrigeration training, not guesswork.

How we fix it

First we diagnose the Kolpak walk-in freezer end to end, so you're not paying to swap parts on a guess. OEM parts are available through Welbilt and PartsTown; sealed-system refrigerant work requires an experienced technician. You approve a flat price up front, and the work is backed by our labour and parts warranty.

Two other shops couldn't fit us in — these guys fixed the Kolpak walk-in freezer the same day. They clearly knew Kolpak inside out and had the part on the truck.

Called late at night and a tech was here by mid-morning to look at the Kolpak walk-in freezer. Clean, on-time, and they took the old part with them. Would call again.

No waiting around — the Kolpak walk-in freezer was diagnosed within an hour of the tech arriving. Genuine parts, done in one trip, and the invoice matched the quote.
