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!

Walk-in cooler maintenance tips to prevent breakdowns

Regular maintenance is one of the most effective ways to extend the life of a walk-in cooler and avoid costly emergency repairs. Commercial refrigeration systems operate continuously, so small issues can quickly turn into major failures if they’re not addressed early.

To keep your walk-in cooler running efficiently, we recommend:

  • Cleaning condenser and evaporator coils on a regular schedule to prevent overheating and poor airflow
  • Inspecting door gaskets and seals for cracks, gaps, or wear that can cause temperature loss
  • Checking fans and motors for unusual noise, vibration, or reduced airflow
  • Monitoring temperature readings daily to catch fluctuations early
  • Keeping the drain line clear to prevent water leaks and ice buildup
  • Scheduling professional preventive maintenance at least once or twice per year

Consistent maintenance helps reduce energy costs, improves temperature stability, and protects stored inventory from spoilage. If your business relies on a walk-in cooler every day, preventive service is far more cost-effective than dealing with unexpected downtime. Our technicians can create a maintenance plan tailored to your equipment and business needs.
