Common Commercial Refrigerator Repair in Franklin Lakes symptoms
If you're noticing any of these, it's time for a diagnostic.
Not cooling adequately
Your commercial refrigerator may not be maintaining the target temperature, leading to potential spoilage of goods. This can manifest as a constant running compressor or inadequate chilling, even when set to the correct thermostat setting. You might notice condensation or frost buildup in unusual areas.
Excessive frost or ice buildup
An accumulation of frost on the evaporator coils or inside the unit indicates a potential issue with the defrost system or door seals. This can impede airflow and cooling efficiency, making the refrigerator work harder and consume more energy.
Strange noises
Unusual sounds such as buzzing, grinding, or rattling can signal problems with the compressor, fans, or other mechanical components. These noises often indicate that a part is worn out, obstructed, or failing.
Leaking water
Water pooling around or inside the refrigerator could be due to a clogged defrost drain line, a cracked water line, or issues with the drain pan. Persistent leaks can cause damage to your flooring and create unsanitary conditions.
Likely causes
What we typically find when we diagnose these symptoms.
Dirty condenser coils
Dust and debris accumulating on the condenser coils prevent the refrigerant from releasing heat effectively. This forces the compressor to work harder, reducing cooling efficiency and potentially leading to premature component failure.
Faulty evaporator or condenser fan motor
These fans are crucial for circulating air over the coils and throughout the unit. If a motor fails, it can lead to insufficient cooling, frost buildup, or overheating of the compressor.
Thermostat or temperature sensor issues
A malfunctioning thermostat or temperature sensor can provide incorrect readings to the control board, causing the refrigerator to run too much, too little, or not at all. This directly impacts the ability to maintain the desired temperature.
Door seal problems
Worn or damaged door gaskets allow cold air to escape and warm, moist air to enter the cabinet. This increases energy consumption, causes excessive frost buildup, and makes it difficult for the unit to maintain its set temperature.
Quick checks before you call
Safe checks that may save you a service call. Never open the appliance — visual + power checks only.
- 1
Check the power supply
Ensure the refrigerator is plugged into a dedicated, functioning outlet and that the power switch is in the 'on' position. Verify that the outlet is receiving power by testing it with another small appliance.
- 2
Inspect the circuit breaker
Check your building's electrical panel for any tripped circuit breakers related to the refrigerator. If a breaker is tripped, reset it once. If it trips again immediately, do not attempt to reset it further and call for professional service.
- 3
Listen for the compressor
When the refrigerator is powered on, listen for the sound of the compressor running. A lack of compressor noise, or a constant running without cooling, can indicate a significant issue requiring professional attention.
- 4
Examine the door seals
Visually inspect the door gaskets for any tears, cracks, or signs of wear. Ensure the doors are closing completely and forming a tight seal. You can test this by closing a piece of paper in the door and trying to pull it out.
- 5
Check for obstructions
Ensure that the refrigerator's air vents inside and condenser coils on the exterior are not blocked by food items or other debris. Proper airflow is crucial for efficient cooling.

Why CityFix Appliance Repair?
Frequently Asked Questions
When is it better to repair or replace a commercial refrigerator?
The decision to repair or replace your commercial refrigerator often depends on the age of the unit, the severity of the issue, and the cost of repairs. If the repair costs are a significant fraction of the price of a new unit, or if the refrigerator is very old and prone to frequent breakdowns, replacement might be more economical in the long run. We can assess your unit and provide an informed recommendation.
How fast can CityFix come to Franklin Lakes?
CityFix Appliance Repair offers same-day service and is available for emergency 24/7 repairs, ensuring we can respond quickly to your needs in Franklin Lakes. Our goal is to minimize downtime for your business, so we prioritize rapid dispatch.
How does your service call fee work?

Do you service all of Franklin Lakes and nearby areas?
Yes, CityFix Appliance Repair provides service throughout Franklin Lakes. We also extend our professional repair services to surrounding communities such as Oakland, Allendale, and Wyckoff. Our goal is to reach businesses in need of commercial refrigeration services efficiently.
What causes commercial refrigerators to stop cooling?
A common cause for commercial refrigerators to stop cooling is a dirty condenser coil, which prevents the unit from dissipating heat effectively. Other frequent issues include a malfunctioning evaporator fan motor, a faulty thermostat, or a refrigerant leak, all of which can significantly impact the unit's ability to maintain the set temperature.
How our repair process works
Five steps from your first call to the warranty receipt. No surprises.
- 1
Inspection
Your technician examines the appliance, listens to your description, and notes the model + serial for parts lookup. Visual + audio-based diagnostics first — non-invasive.
- 2
Diagnostics
Targeted tests on the failing subsystem (compressor, control board, heating element, motor, etc.) to identify the exact root cause. You get a clear explanation, not jargon.
- 3
Fix decision
Up-front estimate before any work begins: cost, parts, and the realistic likelihood of success vs. recommending replacement on an old or uneconomical unit. You decide.
- 4
Operational test
After the repair we run the appliance through its normal cycle on-site — never "it should work now, call us if it doesn't." You sign off when it's actually working.
