Why Your Display Fridge Isn’t Cooling?

Why Your Display Fridge Isn’t Cooling?

Whether you run a cozy café, a busy supermarket, or a popular takeaway in North Finchley, a display fridge that isn’t cooling can cause serious problems. From chilled drinks to fresh salads and desserts, your fridge showcases your best-selling items—and when the temperature drops, so does your customer satisfaction.

Spoiled products, unhappy customers, and financial losses—sound familiar?

The Real Cost of Downtime

Every minute your display fridge isn’t cooling means potential loss of revenue. For businesses handling fresh or chilled goods, a faulty fridge isn’t just inconvenient—it’s a crisis. That’s why at D&A Repair, we take your problem as seriously as you do and respond fast.

Common Reasons Your Display Fridge Isn’t Cooling

1. Dirty Condenser Coils

One of the most frequent culprits. Over time, dust and grease collect on the coils, preventing the system from releasing heat properly. Think of it like trying to breathe through a blocked nose—you just can’t function right.

2. Faulty or Blocked Thermostat

If your thermostat is stuck, blocked by food, or set incorrectly, your fridge won’t regulate its temperature properly. You might think it’s on, but it could be misreading the temperature entirely.

3. Damaged Door Seals and Hinges

When the rubber gaskets around the doors wear out or if the hinges are misaligned, warm air sneaks in while the cold air leaks out. It’s like trying to chill a room with the window open—inefficient and expensive.

4. Refrigerant Leaks or Low Charge

Low refrigerant levels or hidden leaks reduce the cooling power of your fridge. Without the right pressure and refrigerant volume, your fridge might run but won’t get cold.

5. Ice Buildup on Evaporator Coils

Too much frost? That’s a red flag. Ice on the evaporator can block airflow, which stops the fridge from cooling properly. It’s often a sign of poor defrost cycles or fan issues.

6. Electrical or Power Supply Issues

Sometimes, it’s something as simple as a faulty plug or tripped circuit. Other times, internal wiring might be the cause. We always recommend checking power first—it’s basic but crucial.

7. Blocked Ventilation or Overloaded Shelves

Overpacking the fridge can block the internal vents, restricting cold air from circulating evenly. And without proper airflow, you’ll notice uneven temperatures or a complete cooling failure.
