Commercial Freezer Repair
A commercial freezer that won’t hold temperature puts your inventory and your next health inspection at risk for every hour it stays down. Wilson & Myers provides commercial freezer repair across Denver Metro, with fast response on urgent calls and EPA-608 certified technicians for refrigerant and sealed-system work. We measure temperature and system pressure before recommending any repair, and we source parts through national supplier networks and manufacturer contracts.
We work with restaurants, grocery stores, medical facilities, floral shops, food distributors and any business that depends on cold storage.
Common Freezer Problems We Fix
Commercial Freezer Not Maintaining Temperature
A commercial freezer not maintaining temperature is the highest-urgency call we handle. The most common causes: low refrigerant from a sealed system leak, a failing compressor, dirty condenser coils restricting heat transfer, or a faulty thermostat that stops the cooling cycle prematurely. On walk-in systems, a malfunctioning TXV (thermostatic expansion valve) is a frequent culprit.
We measure actual temperature and system pressure before recommending any repair. No guesswork on a commercial unit.
Freezer system diagnostics
Excess Frost and Ice Buildup
Excessive frost inside a commercial freezer almost always means the automatic defrost system has failed. A burned-out defrost heater, failed defrost thermostat, or defective defrost timer allows frost to accumulate on the evaporator coils until airflow is completely blocked, and at that point the unit stops cooling entirely. A worn or damaged door gasket accelerates the problem by allowing warm, humid kitchen air inside.
Both are routine repairs. Ignoring frost buildup leads to compressor overload and much costlier repairs.

Commercial Freezer Leaking Water
Water pooling under a commercial freezer is almost always a clogged defrost drain or drain pan overflow. In high-use commercial environments, drain lines clog faster than in residential units: food particles, grease, and ice debris accumulate quickly. We clear and flush the full drain system and test for recurrence. If the door gasket is also degraded, we address both simultaneously to prevent repeat service calls.
Compressor Running Constantly or Short-Cycling
A commercial freezer compressor failure in progress often shows itself as short-cycling. The compressor starts and stops every few minutes without the unit ever reaching temperature. This is caused by refrigerant leaks reducing system pressure, a failing compressor overload relay, dirty condenser coils causing the compressor to overheat and trip, or sensor faults sending incorrect signals to the control board.
Short-cycling is a warning sign, not a final failure, and catching it early saves the compressor. Left unaddressed, it becomes a full commercial freezer compressor repair or replacement.

Commercial Freezer Noisy or Vibrating
A commercial freezer making unusual noise in a working kitchen environment is easy to ignore until it stops working entirely. Grinding or squealing from inside the unit is an evaporator fan motor bearing failing. Rattling from the back is typically the condenser fan or loose motor mounts.
Loud clicking at startup is the compressor struggling to start, often because of a bad start relay or capacitor. All of these cost far less to fix when caught before complete failure.

Ryan was great with my dryer repair. He complete the task in less than 1 hr and was great with responding quickly! Thank you.
Isabella RiccaThey responded very quickly to my call and arrived timely (appreciated the text that they were on the way & when they arrived). They were very nice and explained everything that they found wrong with my dryer and walked me through the process of how they would repair the issues prior to repairing it. Would recommend!
AvaTechnician arrived on time and was courteous and professional in their explanation. I felt comfortable with their recommendations. Appreciate the level of service from this small company
Isabella KlaimyHad our washing machine break mid-cycle on a Sunday. Within a few minutes of reaching out to them, the team at Wilson and Myers had contacted me with available times including that very evening, no additional fees for a weekend. The tech that arrived was really friendly and professional and got the job done quickly and below the amount I had prepared myself to pay. Will definitely use again if needed!
