Walk-in coolers running warm put food safety at risk and push past the 41°F cold-holding limit. Causes include compressor failure, low refrigerant, dirty coils, and faulty door closers letting warm air in.
Reach-in units building excessive frost or ice on evaporator coils. Often caused by defrost timer failures, heater element issues, or damaged door gaskets allowing moisture entry.
Open display cases and glass-door merchandisers with compressors that never cycle off. Typically indicates low refrigerant charge, dirty condenser coils, or a failing compressor.
Sandwich prep tables and pizza prep coolers with inconsistent temperatures. Common causes include worn lid gaskets, overloaded pans, or thermostat calibration issues.
Commercial refrigeration systems losing refrigerant charge over time, leading to gradual cooling loss and increased energy consumption. Requires professional leak detection and repair.
Condenser fan motors burning out from grease and dust buildup in restaurant environments, causing the compressor to overheat and shut down on high-pressure safety.
Modern commercial refrigeration units displaying error codes on digital controllers. Codes vary by manufacturer and can indicate sensor failures, defrost issues, or compressor problems.
Walk-in coolers, prep tables, or display cases that can not hold below 41°F, the cold-holding limit San Francisco health code sets for food safety. We find the cause and bring the box back into range.
Commercial units are expensive to replace. Most repairs extend life by years.
We arrive with diagnostic equipment to test compressor operation, refrigerant pressures, electrical components, defrost systems, and temperature accuracy. Walk-in cooler failures get priority scheduling.
You approve a written flat-rate quote before we touch the unit. Common parts arrive in 2-4 business days; specialty compressors and controllers take longer, and we quote the lead time before you approve.
After repair, we monitor temperature recovery, verify compressor cycling, and confirm the unit reaches and holds the required temperature. All commercial repairs include our 180-day warranty.
Diagnostic $100, applied to the repair. Repairs from $250.
Reach-ins, walk-ins, prep tables and merchandisers all fail in ways a home fridge never does, which is why FixitBay LLC handles them as core work for restaurants and markets across San Francisco, the Peninsula and Marin. We hold a California appliance license (BHGS #51001). Each commercial call is a $100 diagnostic credited toward the repair, a written estimate before parts are ordered, and a 180-day warranty covering parts and labor. Most units are running again the same visit; a model-specific compressor or control part arrives in a few business days, quoted before you sign off. Book same-day or next-day using the earliest window on the calendar.
Yes. We service walk-in coolers, walk-in freezers, reach-in refrigerators, under-counter units, prep tables, bar coolers, display cases, blast chillers, and ice cream freezers. We work with restaurants, grocery stores, delis, bakeries, hotels, and commercial kitchens throughout San Francisco, the Peninsula, and Marin County.
A walk-in cooler drifting warm puts thousands of dollars of inventory at risk and can push past the 41°F cold-holding limit within hours, so we route these calls to the first available slot - same-day or next-day in most cases. Call during business hours and we confirm the soonest window on the spot. On arrival the technician checks the usual walk-in failure points first - compressor, refrigerant charge, condenser coils, and the evaporator fan motor - and gives you steps to protect the product while the repair is diagnosed and quoted.
We repair True, Traulsen, Turbo Air, Beverage-Air, Hoshizaki, Delfield, Victory, Master-Bilt, Continental, Arctic Air, Everest, Atosa, and all other major commercial refrigeration brands. These systems share core compressor and refrigerant platforms across manufacturers, so many repairs finish on the first visit; when a part has to be ordered we tell you the lead time before you approve.
Yes. Every commercial refrigerator repair carries our 180-day warranty on both parts and labor - compressors, evaporator and condenser fan motors, thermostats, defrost timers, and door gaskets included. If the same fault comes back inside those 180 days, we return and fix it at no additional charge, with no second diagnostic fee. The $100 diagnostic from the original visit is credited toward that repair, so a covered failure never costs you twice.
To give you an exact commercial refrigerator repair cost, we need to perform a diagnostic first. The diagnostic fee is $100. After the diagnostic, we'll provide you with a written repair estimate. Once you approve and go ahead with the repair, the $100 is included in the total cost of the work. We also provide a 180-day warranty on parts and labor.
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), Apple Pay, Venmo, Zelle, online payment via secure invoice link, business checks, and cash. Payment is collected after the repair is complete and you've approved the work. We don't require a deposit beyond the $100 commercial diagnostic visit fee, which is fully credited toward your repair if you proceed. Invoices and documentation for business records provided on request.
