When a commercial fridge goes down, time isn’t on your side. Every minute counts—food starts to spoil, inventory melts, and profits slip away.
That’s exactly what happened to a family-run deli in Charlotte, NC. Just before their lunch rush, their True commercial fridge quit cooling.
Luckily, they called Fix Commercial Appliance—and within a few hours, our certified refrigeration tech showed up, arrived on-site with everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
🔍 What We Found: Compressor Failure
After a full system check, here’s what stood out:
The fridge was on but not cooling
The compressor was overheating and shutting off
Clicking relay noises and frost building up near the evaporator
Bottom line? The compressor had seized. No quick fix here—it needed a full replacement done right, with commercial-grade precision.
⚙️ Here’s How We Replaced It (The Right Way):
Our repairs go beyond quick fixes — we rebuild systems to factory precision:
EPA-Compliant Refrigerant Recovery – safely removed the old refrigerant
Installed a High-Volume OEM Compressor – built for True fridges
Replaced the Filter Drier + Added Access Valves – for a clean and efficient system
Vacuumed the System – to remove any moisture or air
Charged with the Correct Refrigerant – matched to factory specs
Ran Performance Tests – checking superheat and subcooling for top performance
True Fridge Restored After Full Compressor Swap
✅ The Result?
Before closing time, the system was running like new. The fridge was colder and quieter than ever.
The deli owner summed it up perfectly:
“We thought we’d lose the weekend. You got us back in business faster than we imagined. You’ve earned a customer for life.”
That’s what we’re about at Fix Commercial Appliance: speed, accuracy, and reliability when it matters most.
