Walk-ins, ice machines and reach-ins — which one is giving you trouble?
Every one of them fails in its own way. Find yours and you will know what you are looking at before you call anyone.
Pierre Refrigeration Services works on the cold side of a commercial building across Snellville and Gwinnett County — walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-in cabinets, and ice machines. The fault usually starts with airflow or water rather than with the compressor, and a cooler above 41°F is losing product. Aging equipment gets measured before anyone recommends replacing it.
Start with the machine
-
Walk-In Cooler & Freezer Repair
Your box runs constantly and still drifts warm, the evaporator is frozen into a solid block, or the door no longer seals.
-
Reach-In Refrigerator & Freezer Repair
Your upright or under-counter cycles constantly, sweats at the door, or freezes the top shelf while the bottom sits warm.
-
Commercial Ice Machine Repair
Your cubes come out thin, cloudy or hollow, the harvest takes twice as long as it used to, or the bin never fills.
The rest of the building
-
Commercial refrigeration repair
The full service your machine sits inside, and what happens after you call.
-
Commercial HVAC
The rooftop units and split systems keeping the rest of your building comfortable.

Common problems
Start from what you are seeing instead of from the machine.
When more than one machine is acting up
Two units warming up at the same time is rarely two faults. Cabinets on a shared circuit go down together when a breaker trips, and equipment in the same corner of a hot kitchen loses capacity together when the air around it gets too warm to reject heat into. Before assuming two repairs, it is worth checking what the units have in common.
- Same circuit or same panel — a tripped breaker or a loose connection takes out everything downstream of it at once.
- Same room, and the room is hot — every self-contained cabinet is rated at an ambient temperature. A kitchen running hot because the hood or the rooftop unit is struggling pushes all of them past it.
- Same delivery — a box loaded with warm product, or a door propped through a delivery, will show up as several units recovering slowly rather than one failing.
If the answer is that the room itself is too warm, the fault is on the HVAC side rather than in any of the cabinets.
