Signs your commercial fridge needs service

These are the warning signs we hear most often from Chicago business owners. If you notice any of the following, it’s smart to schedule service before you lose inventory:

  • Product feels warmer than usual or you can’t hold a consistent temperature
  • Compressor is loud, runs constantly, or the unit won’t shut off
  • Unusual humming, rattling, or clicking sounds
  • Water pooling under the unit or inside the cabinet
  • Ice buildup on the back wall or evaporator area
  • Door won’t close tightly or gasket looks cracked and worn
  • Unit is cycling on and off too often
  • Staff has to “baby” the cooler to keep it working

The earlier you call, the more likely it is we can prevent bigger damage and reduce downtime.

Dark called and texted me before coming to my home. He worked diligently to attempt to repair my countertop ice maker. He called me later that day to see if the machine was working (it wasn't). He agreed to send me back the service call fee, even though he had spent about 2 hours working on the machine. I would ABSOLUTELY use Ivan ApplianceRepairs in the future.

I really appreciate IVAN appliances coming out especially after 2 other pros canceled on me and the store I bought the Stove from sent inexperienced delivery people who could not tell me what I needed to install the stove. Great job and very punctual!

Commercial refrigerator maintenance tips

A few simple habits can help your unit run colder, longer, and with fewer breakdowns:

  • Clean condenser coils on a regular schedule, especially in greasy kitchen environments
  • Keep clear airflow around the unit and avoid blocking vents
  • Check door gaskets monthly and replace if you see gaps or cracks
  • Don’t overload shelves. Airflow matters for consistent temperature
  • Keep drain lines clear to prevent water leaks and ice buildup
  • Monitor temperatures and log any sudden changes

If you want, we can recommend a maintenance schedule based on your equipment type and kitchen workload.
