Preventative Maintenance Tips
A little upkeep goes a long way in Blacktown's climate β especially heading into summer.
Residential fridges & freezers
Vacuum the condenser coils a couple of times a year, keep the unit a few centimetres off the wall for airflow, check door seals for cracks and gaps, and don't overpack β air needs to circulate to cool evenly.
Commercial refrigeration
Schedule regular coil cleaning and gasket checks, keep condensers clear of kitchen grease, and log temperatures daily so a slow drift is caught before it becomes a breakdown.
Coolrooms
Inspect door seals and closers, keep evaporators clear of ice, and book periodic servicing β a coolroom failure is far cheaper to prevent than to recover from.
Display fridges
Clean glass, fans and drains regularly, and never block internal vents with stock β restricted airflow is the number one reason display units lose temperature.
Freezers
Defrost before ice gets thick, check the seal, and keep the unit out of direct heat and sun where you can.
