Understanding your walk in freezer will save you money and frustration. Many refrigeration problems are caused by not understanding the operation of commercial refrigeration equipment.  The basic cycle of cooling and warming is the same as with a walk in cooler .  The walk in freezer in this example comes on at 0 degrees Farenheit and runs until the box pulls down to -5 degrees.

Then the condensing unit turns off. The air in walk-in  warms from door opening, heat gain through the walls and the product. When the temperature reaches 0 degrees, the condensing unit comes on again to repeat the cycle.

Understanding your walk in cooler will save you money and frustration. Many refrigeration problems are caused by not understanding the operation of commercial refrigeration equipment.

Your walk in refrigerator is very similar to a commercial reach-in refrigerator. It is not similar to a residential refrigerator. A household refrigerator is actually a freezer that uses some of the freezer’s air to cool the refrigerator part.

Most reach-in coolers/freezers and walk-in coolers/freezers seem virtually indestructible and problem free, but you will get longer life out of yours by following these safety and maintenance tips.  Clean the door gaskets and hinges regularly.  The door gaskets are made of rubber and can rot more easily if they are caked with food or grime, which weakens their sealing properties.  They can be safely cleaned with a solution of baking soda and warm water.  Hinges can be rubbed with a bit of petroleum jelly to keep them working well.  Dirty coils force the refrigerator to run hotter, which shortens the life of the compressor motor.  They should be cleaned every 90 days.
