Commercial Refrigeration Repairs in Melbourne

When a business fridge or freezer stops holding temperature, we identify the equipment, find the fault and explain the repair before doing it.

Overview

Commercial refrigeration repairs for business premises

Airmax repairs commercial fridges and freezers in Melbourne. We diagnose faults such as poor cooling, icing, noise, leaks and control failures, then quote the repair. Coolroom and display fridge repairs have their own pages.

We work across Melbourne and regional Victoria. Every job starts with a written quote.

Not holding temperature, icing, noise and control faults

Typical refrigeration faults include equipment running warm, ice building up on the evaporator, water pooling, unusual noises from the compressor or fans, and controllers showing alarms or errors.

  • Not reaching or holding temperature
  • Ice building up on coils or inside the cabinet
  • Water leaking or pooling
  • Compressor or fan noise
  • Controller alarms or error codes

Identifying the equipment and diagnosing the fault

We start by identifying the equipment and how it's set up, then check controls and sensors, airflow and fans, the defrost system, electrical components and the refrigerant circuit. This tells us whether the fault is a part, a leak, a control issue or something else.

Leaks, compressors, fans, heaters and electrical repairs

Common repairs include replacing fan motors, defrost heaters, controllers and sensors, repairing refrigerant leaks and replacing failed compressors. Our specialist pages explain refrigerant leak repair, compressor replacement and parts replacement in more detail.

Repair or replace, and parts availability

We quote the repair and tell you whether the parts are available and how long they may take. On older equipment where parts are scarce or the repair cost is high, we'll outline replacement options too.

Return-to-operation checks and monitoring

After the repair we check the equipment pulls down to temperature and holds it. If temperature failures are a recurring concern, wireless temperature monitoring can alert you to problems sooner.

FAQ

Common questions

More answers on our FAQ page.

What information should I provide about a refrigeration fault?

The type of equipment, make and model, what it's doing, the temperature it's reading, any alarms, when the fault started, and site access details. Photos are very helpful.

Can a compressor or controller be replaced?

Usually, yes, where a compatible part is available and the rest of the system is in reasonable condition. We confirm the diagnosis and part before quoting.
