What I found
On this walk-in freezer, the condenser coil had a thick layer of dust and debris across much of its surface. The buildup was visible as soon as the condenser cover was removed.
This visit was limited to condenser cleaning and general maintenance of the walk-in freezer.
How I cleaned the condenser
I opened the condenser compartment and documented the condition of the coil before cleaning. I then removed the accumulated dust and debris from the coil surface, working across the areas where the buildup was heaviest.
Once the coil was clean, I refitted the cover and checked the interior fan housing and the general condition of the walk-in before finishing the maintenance visit.
Result
The condenser was left clean, with the coil surface visible again. The maintenance service totaled $250 and is covered by our 6-month warranty on parts and labor.
