A walk-in cooler or freezer failure can quickly become a critical issue for any business that depends on commercial refrigeration. Whether you run a restaurant, grocery store, or food production facility, a system breakdown can lead to product loss, safety concerns, and operational downtime.

At ADN Refrigeration, we specialize in emergency refrigeration repair and are ready to respond when your system fails. Our technicians provide same-day refrigeration repair services backed by years of experience and industry training. If you are facing a refrigeration emergency, here’s what to do.

1. Confirm the Problem

Before calling for service, take a moment to confirm that your refrigeration unit is not functioning correctly. Some of the most common signs of refrigeration system failure include:

  • The temperature inside your cooler or freezer is rising
  • Alarms are sounding or warning lights are flashing
  • Unusual noises or vibrations are coming from the unit
  • Water pooling inside or around the system
  • Product spoilage or thawing

Do not attempt to inspect internal components or electrical connections yourself. Commercial refrigeration systems are complex and should only be handled by trained professionals.

2. Keep Doors Closed and Protect Inventory

If you suspect a failure, keep the walk-in cooler or freezer doors closed to maintain the current temperature for as long as possible. Limit access and avoid opening the doors unless absolutely necessary. This can help reduce product loss until a technician arrives.

If you have access to a backup unit or cold storage provider, consider transferring high-value or perishable inventory only once it is safe to do so. Our technicians can assist with guidance during the service call.
