Walk-in Coolers Types We Service
Walk-in Cooler Repair for Facilities
Walk-in cooler repair — for keeping products between 1°C and 8°C, such as dairy, vegetables and chilled meat. We work on units such as Rivacold and Zanotti and on Copeland compressors. Call 16062 to book the earliest available slot.
A walk-in cooler is built from 8-10 cm insulated panels and a condensing unit running on R-134a or R-404A refrigerant. Its efficiency depends on air distribution and fan speed. Common faults include low refrigerant, a clogged drain pan, and a failed evaporator fan motor.
Signs it needs service
- Temperature rising above 8°C
- Water dripping from the evaporator onto the goods
- Light ice buildup on the copper pipes
- A loud humming noise from the outdoor unit
- A foul odor inside the room from stagnant water
- The internal fan stops rotating
- The unit runs continuously without cycling off (thermostat fault)
Common faults
- Clogged filter drier
- Failed evaporator fan motor
- Low refrigerant charge due to a minor leak
- Digital control board failure (Dixell)
- Clogged drain pipe and water accumulation
What we do
- Refrigerant charging and pressure calibration by scale
- Replacement of fan motors with original or compatible parts, depending on the model
- Clearing and cleaning the drain lines and pan
- Replacement of filter driers and the expansion valve
- Programming and repair of digital control boards
- Comprehensive coil washing with dust-dissolving agents
Care tips
- Switch off the unit's power and clean the outdoor condenser monthly — dust raises power use and weakens cooling
- Make sure goods are stacked at least 30 cm away from the evaporator air outlet
- Test the door gasket with a sheet of paper; if the paper slides out, the door is leaking cold air
Questions
Water is dripping onto the food inside the room, why?
Usually a clogged drain pipe or algae buildup in the evaporator pan. It needs clearing promptly to prevent product spoilage — switch off the unit's power before any cleaning and call 16062.
Can the motor be repaired if it has burned out?
Evaporator fan motors usually cannot be repaired and are replaced with an original or compatible part, depending on the model, while the compressor can sometimes be overhauled.
Walk-in Freezer Repair for Facilities
Walk-in freezer repair — designed to freeze products at temperatures between -18°C and -25°C. They require thick insulation (12-15 cm) and powerful defrost systems. Call 16062 to protect your frozen stock.
Walk-in freezers rely on powerful low-back-pressure compressors and electric defrost systems that clear ice from the coil every 6 hours. Common faults include defrost heater burnout, evaporator fan icing up, and a failed door heater.
Signs it needs service
- Temperature rising to -5°C or 0°C
- Very heavy ice buildup (an ice block) completely covering the evaporator
- Difficulty opening the door (the gasket frozen to the frame)
- Compressor stops and a "High Temp" alarm appears on the panel
- The sound of the fan rubbing against blocks of ice
- Oil leaking from the outdoor units
Common faults
- Defrost heater burnout
- Failed defrost sensor
- Evaporator fan stopping due to icing
- Failed door frame heater
- Failure of the compressor contactor
What we do
- Replacement of defrost heaters with original or compatible parts, depending on the model
- Replacement of temperature sensors and reprogramming the timer
- Repair and replacement of door heaters and gaskets
- Charging R-404A refrigerant suited for freezing
- Overhaul and servicing of Bitzer and Copeland compressors
- Manual removal of accumulated ice blocks and restart
Care tips
- Switch the room light off when you leave — lamps add heat — and before closing the door, make sure nobody is inside and the inside release handle works
- Make sure the door heater works; without it the gasket freezes and tears when you try to open the door
- Watch for alarms on the control panel, and call a technician if you see oil around the outdoor unit or hear an unusual compressor noise
Questions
The door will not open, what is the solution?
Usually the door frame heater has burned out, causing moisture to freeze between the door and the frame. Do not use force; call 16062 to replace the heater.
Why does the room build up so much ice on the coil?
Either a fault in the heaters, or the door is being left open for long periods, allowing humid air to enter.
Combo Walk-in Cooler Repair for Facilities
Combo room repair (combined cooler and freezer) — a single room split into two sections by an insulated wall and an internal door, saving space and operating cost. Servicing two units in one system. Call 16062.
Combo rooms contain two independent refrigeration systems, or one system with control valves. They require great skill to set the temperature for each section and prevent cold transfer between them. Common faults are failure of the dividing wall insulation and failure of the dual control board.
Signs it needs service
- Weak freezing in the freezer section while the cooler section works fine
- Ice forming on the dividing wall between the two rooms
- Odors mixing between the two sections (failed insulation)
- Failure of one of the two outdoor compressors
- The dual digital display stops showing readings
Common faults
- Failed dual controller board
- Worn gasket on the door dividing the cooler and freezer
- Failure of one of the solenoid valves (if the system is shared)
- Low refrigerant in one of the two circuits
What we do
- Servicing and repair of dual control boards
- Replacement of internal and external door gaskets
- Refrigerant charging and compressor servicing for each section independently
- Restoration of dividing wall insulation and prevention of thermal leakage
- Inspection and calibration of the expansion valves for both sections
Care tips
- Make sure the internal door is closed properly; leaving it open raises the freezer temperature and overloads the units
- Monitor the temperature difference between the two sections daily to ensure the dividing insulation is intact
Questions
What is the advantage of a combo room?
It saves floor space because cooling and freezing share one room. Depending on the design, it has either two independent units (one failing does not stop the other) or one unit with control valves.
If one section fails, does the other keep running?
If each section has its own unit, usually yes. If the room runs on one unit with control valves, a unit fault affects both sections. Either way, an inspection matters so the fault does not spread to the healthy section.

How We Work
- 01
Call 16062
Tell us the product type, the temperature and the location. If you have the unit’s model number, photograph it and send it to the technician. This speeds up sourcing the part.
- 02
Temperature and Load Check
We measure air and product temperatures and look at how the room is loaded. Sometimes the problem is overloading or a door opened too often. The diagnosis determines whether the fault is mechanical or operational.
- 03
Refrigeration Circuit Inspection
We inspect the compressor, refrigerant, filter, expansion valve and fans. We run a Leak Test if the charge is low. The price is set before the repair.
- 04
Repair and Adjustment
We replace parts and set the Controller and Defrost Cycle. We check the door, gasket and curtains. The goal is a stable temperature, not just a temporary restart.
- 05
Follow-Up and Warranty
We re-check the room temperature after a period of operation, and you receive a formal invoice and a 6-month written warranty on the repair and the replaced part.

Why Agent Site?
Diagnosis from the First Call
We identify the unit type, the room size and the fault. The call center distinguishes between cooler, freezer and combo rooms. The technician arrives with the right measuring instruments.
On-Site Diagnosis with Instruments
We measure suction and discharge pressures and Superheat. We check airflow and coil cleanliness. The fault is identified before any part is replaced.
Food Safety
Unstable temperatures put meat, dairy and sauces at risk. We help you document temperature readings. This matters in health and quality inspections.
The Right Spare Parts
We supply fan motors, defrost timers, controllers and door gaskets — original or compatible depending on the part and model, and matched to the capacity and refrigerant type. A cheap part that does not match can raise power consumption.
If the Room Fails During Service
Call 16062 and we book the earliest available slot for your area. Until the technician arrives: keep the door shut, open it as little as possible, and move sensitive product to a working fridge or room. Protecting the product comes first.
Full Testing
After the repair we monitor the room until it reaches the required temperature. We test the door and the Defrost. You receive brief operating instructions for your team.
Pricing Transparency
The price is set after inspection
The final price is set after the technical inspection and before any repair, depending on the unit type and the parts needed; on 16062 we can give you a rough idea first.

- Do not crowd the shelves in front of the evaporator, so air can circulate properly
- Switch off the unit and clean the condenser every month, especially in greasy kitchens
- Check the door gasket if the door is hard to close or opens by itself
- Leave space between boxes and walls for air circulation
- Log the room temperature every morning and evening
- Do not switch the unit off at night if it holds sensitive product
- Schedule maintenance before the summer and North Coast season
- Make sure the inside door-release handle works, and that nobody is inside before you lock the room
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book Walk-in Cooler maintenance?
Call 16062 and tell us the room size, the unit type, and whether it is a cooler or a freezer. We book the earliest available slot for your area and send a specialist technician.
What is the difference between Self-Contained and Split?
In a Self-Contained system the whole unit is mounted on the room, which makes installation easier. In a Split system the compressor is outside and the evaporator inside, which suits larger loads and quieter operation.
Do you work on imported and locally built rooms?
Yes — both locally built and imported rooms. Send a photo of the unit's nameplate on WhatsApp so the technician can prepare the right parts.
Ice is building up on the evaporator — what should I do?
Usually the defrost heater, the timer or the defrost termination sensor is faulty. Do not break the ice with a knife; move sensitive product somewhere cold and call a technician.
Do you offer a maintenance contract for supermarket branches?
Scheduled visits for branches are agreed case by case: a visit schedule for each branch and a temperature report. Call 16062 with the number of sites and unit types, and we will arrange an inspection visit and a written quote.
Do you cover the North Coast?
Yes, the North Coast (Matrouh) is in our service area. Book a preventive visit before the season on 16062.
Do you install new Walk-in rooms?
For a new room installation, ask on 16062: we review the space and the required load, and confirm what is possible and the quote after a site survey.
What is the service life of the unit?
It depends on the unit's quality, ventilation and use; condenser cleaning and regular maintenance extend it, and neglect in summer shortens it.
Need a walk-in cooler technician now?
A walk-in room warming up during service means product going to waste. Call 16062 and we will book the earliest available slot.
