Door Won't Seal Properly
A worn, torn or misaligned gasket lets warm, humid air into the box, forcing the system to run harder and raising product temperatures.

Repair It Guys repairs walk-in coolers for restaurants and commercial kitchens throughout Tyler, Longview and East Texas — door seals, evaporator coils, compressors and electrical faults.
Walk-In Cooler Repair
Every DegreeMatters.
A walk-in cooler running even a few degrees warm can put inventory and food safety at risk long before it fails completely.
We test the door seal, evaporator, condenser, refrigerant system and electrical components to find the actual cause — not just the symptom.

Common Problems
Signs Your CoolerNeeds Attention.
Evaporator Coil Icing Over
Restricted airflow, a failed evaporator fan or a defrost problem can cause ice to build up on the coil, which then blocks airflow further.
Condenser Coil Fouled with Grease or Dust
Kitchen grease and outdoor dust build up on the condenser coil and choke off the airflow the system needs to reject heat.
Compressor Runs Constantly
A compressor that never cycles off may be fighting a dirty condenser, a refrigerant problem, a bad door seal or a control fault.
Water or Ice on the Floor
A clogged or frozen condensate drain line is a common cause of water pooling or ice forming inside or around the cooler.
Box Won't Hold Temperature
Rising product temperatures can come from refrigerant, airflow, electrical or door-seal problems — testing is needed to isolate which one.
Our Process
Diagnose First.Repair With Confidence.
Inspect
We check the door and gasket, evaporator coil, condenser coil, drain line and electrical components.
Test
We test refrigerant pressures, electrical components and airflow to identify the actual cause of the problem.
Explain
We explain what's failing, what the repair involves, and flag anything else worth knowing before work begins.
Repair & Verify
After approved repairs, we run the cooler through a full cycle and confirm it's holding temperature correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Walk-In Cooler Questions
Straightforward answers for restaurant owners and commercial kitchen managers.
Common causes include a worn door gasket, a dirty condenser coil, an iced evaporator coil, a refrigerant leak, a failed fan motor or an electrical fault. The right fix depends on identifying which one is actually happening.
Evaporator icing is usually caused by restricted airflow, a failed evaporator fan, a defrost system problem, or a door that isn't sealing. Running the cooler with an iced coil can make the underlying problem worse.
Yes. A torn or poorly sealing gasket lets warm, moist air into the box continuously, which raises the load on the system, can accelerate coil icing, and drives up product temperatures.
A cooler that's not holding temperature is a food-safety issue, and we treat it that way. Call us and we'll work to get a technician out as quickly as our schedule allows.
