Why your Kolpak walk-in cooler is not cooling

When a Kolpak walk-in cooler is not cooling, here's what you'll usually notice: unit runs but temperature stays warm — usually a compressor, condenser, or refrigerant issue. More often than not it traces back to refrigerant leak in the sealed system. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

  • Failed compressor or start relay
  • Faulty temperature control board
  • A stuck or failed damper control

Known Kolpak walk-in cooler 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

One thing you can rule out on your own: confirm the walk-in cooler has power, the thermostat is actually set cold, and the condenser coils or vents aren't blocked by dust or stored items. Also, listen for the compressor running at all, and make sure nothing is blocking airflow around the back or bottom vents. Beyond that, the cause is almost always a failed compressor or a refrigerant leak in the sealed system, and handling refrigerant legally requires an experienced technician — which is where DIY stops.

How we fix it

We trace the not cooling on your Kolpak walk-in cooler to its source instead of throwing parts at it. 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.

The Kolpak walk-in cooler died mid-week and they had it sorted before I'd even rearranged my schedule. Genuine parts, done in one trip, and the invoice matched the quote.
