Frequently asked questions
What is a commercial counter fridge?
A commercial counter fridge, also known as a preparation fridge or undercounter fridge, is a refrigerated unit designed to sit beneath a worktop or as part of a prep station. It provides convenient, chilled storage for ingredients and food items, often featuring work surfaces on top, making it ideal for kitchens, delis, and bars where space and immediate access to chilled goods are essential.
How often should my counter fridge be serviced?
The recommended frequency for servicing a commercial counter fridge typically depends on its usage, environment, and manufacturer guidelines. For most commercial settings, an annual or bi-annual service is advisable to ensure optimal performance, energy efficiency, and to prevent unexpected breakdowns. High-usage environments or those with challenging conditions may benefit from more frequent checks.
What should I do if my counter fridge is not cooling properly?
If your counter fridge is not cooling properly, first check if the door is fully closed and sealed, and that the temperature settings are correct. Ensure the condenser coils are not blocked by debris or dust, which can restrict airflow. If these basic checks don't resolve the issue, it's best to call a professional F-Gas certified refrigeration engineer immediately, as it could indicate a more serious problem like a refrigerant leak or compressor fault. Avoid attempting complex repairs yourself.
