Just like any other electrical appliances, commercial ice cream freezers are exposed to some common failures during their lifetime. It might be an electrical failure or just a simple fan detachment. We are going to look at some of the common problems, causes and ice cream freezer repair methods you can implement to have a fully functioning freezer in no time.

Freezing and cooling System issues

The most common cause of the cooling system failure is the presence of leakages in the compressor coil or thermostat miss configuration. To resolve this, check and see if the thermostat is configured correctly. If not, you should adjust the temperature knob to the required level.

Power issues

Power issues with your ice cream freezer are mostly caused by a non-functioning fuse, overheated power supply unit or just a power surge in your main line. To solve this, you should ensure that the freezer is turned off for safety reasons and check the power source to confirm whether there is any fault with the circuit breaker. Confirm if the fuse you use is firmly connected to the plug. If there are no faults, contact a commercial appliances repair professional to check the whole system.

Compressor issues

The compressor will stop to function if there is a defective coil running through the system and if there is a sudden change in room temperature where your ice cream freezer is positioned, and if there is an ice clog in the compressor coils. If the compressor is not functioning well, you should reset the temperature of the freezer to its normal set-point for a few hours and monitor its behavior. If this does not work, shut down the system completely for up to 12 hours particularly if it had been running for an extended period and check to see if the issue has been resolved.

Condenser fan complications

The condenser fan can suddenly start to rotate at an extremely fast rate or an unquestionably slow speed producing some noise. The prevalent cause of this is the occurrence of a loose bolt or just a lubrication issue with the rotating screw. You should shut the whole system off and unscrew the fan from the freezer. Using a lubrication agent, you should oil the rotating screw and clean the back of the fan box to remove potential threats.

Conclusion

These are some of the most common problems with ice cream freezers. When you come across a problem that you can’t easily fix, you should contact and experienced commercial freezer repair Arlington to help you in fixing it.
