How to Maintain a Walk-In Cooler

Do you run a small business where it is vital to keep your product cold? Are you hoping to pass the next health inspector’s test with flying colors? Do you want to be able to present your customers with cold product without any delay? If so, a walk-in cooler may be for you.

Walk-in coolers are an important and oftentimes large investment, and as such, should be properly maintained. Although these appliances are quite durable, there are still a few tips you can follow in order to make sure your walk-in cooler is constantly working at the peak efficiency.

Here are three ways to keep your walk-in cooler in great working order:

1) Maintain Cleanliness

Keeping your walk-in cooler clean is an overlooked, yet incredibly vital, part of maintaining your piece of machinery. Not only will a little soap and water go a long way towards ensuring that your walk-in cooler stays up to health code, a clean cooler also ensures that you are able to see your way around the cooler well, preventing injuries and ensuring that no dangerous accidents take place.

2) Inspect Door Hinges

One of the most important pieces of a cooler is the door itself. Not only does a door ensure the safety and security of your cooler, it also keeps the temperature of the cooler at a great level. Lubricating the hinges of a door quarterly, as well as checking on the seals, ensures that the door will continue working properly and help prevent any accidents that may occur as a result of a faulty cooler door.

3) Schedule a Checkup

No matter how careful you are in the upkeep of your walk-in cooler, there are always problems that may go undiagnosed unless a professional steps in. In order to ensure that everything is working properly, and to prevent small problems from growing, Teems Electric recommends you schedule regular maintenance visits from a professional.
