Commercial Fridge Repair

Commercial fridges are essential appliances for cafes, restaurants, and other catering kitchens.

There are a vast number of different types of commercial fridges available on the market today; commercial refrigeration can be categorised through fridge-freezers, fridge air-coolers and fridge coolers.

The latter two have a cooling function that is based on evaporation rather than actual refrigeration.

Nova Catering Repairs work on all types of commercial catering equipment and our engineers can help with a commercial fridge repair.

Commercial Fridge

Commercial fridges are available in all sorts of sizes for storing food items that need to be kept at a certain temperature range from -10 degrees Celsius up to +5 degrees Celsius.

They can also be adjusted for humidity levels, which is vital to keep food fresh and tasty - too dry and they will wither and rot; too moist and they will develop mould.

Some fridges come with a temperature display that shows the current temperature inside the fridge-cabinet at all times, so you always know what temperature your food is stored at; these fridges are best for efficiency and can even assist with commercial fridge troubleshooting.

The commercial refrigeration engineers at Nova Catering Repairs are Refrigeration qualified, and on hand to assist with your fridge repairs to ensure your catering kitchen is running to the best of its ability.

How often should a commercial fridge be cleaned?

The interior of your commercial fridge should be wiped and sanitised at the end of every shift; this is a good time to remove out of date produce and replace stock, or reorganise your fridge for the next shift.

Re-organising your fridge includes bringing stock with shorter expiry dates to the front of the shelf, or regrouping similar products to be easily found for the next shift.

It is advised that you deep clean your commercial fridge once a week.

Regularly cleaning your fridge will help it to perform better and more efficiently, and moreover prevent any health and safety breaches.

How do you clean a commercial refrigerator?

Cleaning your refrigerator is simpler than you may think, and only needs a few steps. This means your commercial fridge can be cleaned regularly, without too much time or hassle.

Remove contents, throwing away any expired or unusable food or beverages
Wash the interior with warm, soapy water before disinfecting
The exterior can also be cleaned in the same manner (if your fridge has a glass door or casing, this can be cleaned with glass cleaner)
Restock in an organised manner, and replace any food or beverages that may need restocking

For more guidance, check out the advice given by the UK Government.

What temperature should a commercial fridge be?

It is legally required that cold food should be kept at 8 degrees Celsius or below, however the Food Standards Agency recommends your fridge should be kept at 5 degrees Celsius.

A thermometer can be used to check the temperature of your commercial refrigerator, for peace of mind that your fridge is working at optimum temperature.

If your fridge is not cold enough, food will spoil quickly and will not feel cold to touch. A build-up of condensation on food containers or walls is another indication that your fridge is not cold enough, or that it is not working properly.
