Why your commercial freezer is not freezing
When a commercial freezer is not freezing, here's what you'll usually notice: freezer compartment stays above 0°F. Common causes: defrost thermostat, evaporator fan, sealed-system leak. Across the brands we service, it's most often sealed-system refrigerant leak. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- Evaporator fan not running
- Failed temperature sensor
- Sealed-system refrigerant leak
- Defrost thermostat or heater failure
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. Beyond that, a fan that's confirmed dead, or ice built up around it, means removing interior panels to reach it — not a quick swap without disassembly experience.
