Frequently asked questions
Why is my Kolpak walk-in freezer not working?
The most common causes are: freezer above 0°f or ice cream turning soft; thick frost or ice on the evaporator; ice forming on the floor, door frame or ceiling. A technician confirms the cause on site before quoting the repair.
Why is my walk-in freezer icing up?
Usually a failed defrost component (heater, timer or termination thermostat), a leaking door gasket that lets humid air in, or a frozen drain line. All three are repairable.
