Why your Randell commercial freezer is ice buildup

The first things owners spot on a ice buildup Randell commercial freezer: frost or solid ice in freezer compartment beyond normal. Defrost system failure. The usual culprit is a stuck damper holding cold air. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

  • A bad door gasket letting humid air in
  • Blocked defrost drain
  • A stuck damper holding cold air
  • Defrost system failure
  • Failed defrost timer

Known Randell commercial freezer weak points

  • Clogged condensate drains causing water pooling inside the cabinet
  • Cracked or worn door gaskets losing seal and forcing compressor overwork
  • Dirty condenser coils causing short-cycling and poor temperature hold
  • Condenser or evaporator fan motor failure leaving product too warm

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

There's one thing worth checking before you book anyone: check how often the door's been left open or ajar recently, since that's the single biggest cause of humid air getting in. Also, check the door seal for gaps and make sure vents inside aren't blocked — the most common self-fixable cause. Past that point, if ice keeps building back up, the defrost heater, timer, or sensor has failed, and reaching those parts means removing interior panels without damaging the liner.

Our Randell commercial freezer quit on us and they had a technician out the same afternoon in Orange Park. The diagnostic fee came off the repair total, just like they promised.
