Data as of October 2026
Fridges, freezers and cool rooms were logged with high-temperature alarms, melting stock or rooms not holding temperature.
Systems were recorded low on gas or refrigerant, sometimes after a leak or low-pressure safety trip, leaving chillers and cool rooms unable to operate correctly.
Ice built up on evaporator coils or around freezer and cool-room areas, restricting refrigeration performance and requiring the icing fault to be checked.
Technicians found compressors with faulty valves, seized bearings or other failures that stopped the refrigeration system from running properly.
