🧊 Why Regular Service Matters for Refrigeration Equipment
Proper maintenance and prompt repair of commercial refrigeration systems are vital for consistent performance, food safety, and energy efficiency. Here's why each type of unit matters—and why it must be serviced regularly:

⚠️ Common Commercial Refrigeration Problems We Repair in South Metro Atlanta
At John’s Heating, Cooling, and Appliance Repair, we’re proud to be the trusted refrigeration repair specialists for restaurants and commercial kitchens throughout Fayette County, Coweta County, and Pike County. From Senoia’s historic downtown diners to busy chains inside Fayette Pavilion or the casual eateries lining Highway 74 in Tyrone and Peachtree City, we know how critical properly working refrigeration products are to your operations. If your commercial kitchen appliances aren’t cooling or freezing properly, here are the most common issues we diagnose and repair:
🧊 Cooler Running but Not Cooling
The cooler feels warm, even though the compressor is running. This could signal a refrigerant leak, compressor failure, or a restriction in the sealed system. We often see this in units behind the kitchens at Big Chic in Zebulon or Pascal’s Bistro in Peachtree City, where constant use wears down the systems.
True or Beverage-Air units not reaching temp: Typically caused by restricted airflow, a failing thermostat, or a problem with the control board.
❄️ Excessive Cooling or Freezing
Liquids freezing below 32°F: This is often due to a defective thermostat or stuck temperature sensor, something we've fixed for cold prep tables at restaurants in Downtown Newnan.
Evaporator coils icing up typically indicates a failed defrost heater or timer, which is common in reach-in units at smaller cafes and bakery kitchens across Fayetteville.
Evaporator fan not working: Without air circulation, temperatures fluctuate wildly, and food spoils quickly.
Compressor overheating: A dirty condenser coil or a faulty condenser fan motor can cause this issue. We clean and replace these parts frequently, especially in systems near grease-heavy cooking lines, such as those at La Parrilla in Newnan.
🌬️ Airflow & Fan Problems
Fans spinning, but unit not cooling: This may indicate a dirty evaporator coil, a common issue in units that haven’t received regular maintenance.
Thermostat failure causing coil freeze: If coils are solid ice, the thermostat may be cycling improperly. We’ve handled this in walk-ins used by locations like Tim’s Country Kitchen in Fayetteville.
Persistent ice buildup in freezers: Even working defrost systems can fail if sensors or boards are malfunctioning.
🚪 Door Gasket, Hinge, and Seal Issues
Doors not sealing tightly: This allows warm, humid air to enter, causing the evaporator coil to freeze. Restaurants at Ashley Park in Coweta County often face this issue due to the frequent use of their doors.
Condensation inside the cabinet: A worn gasket or unlevel door may be to blame.
Cracked or torn gaskets:
This is one of the most common causes of cold air loss and strain on the compressor.
Loose hinges and latches: Even slightly misaligned doors reduce efficiency and increase utility bills.
💧 Moisture and Drainage Problems
Water leaking under or behind the unit: This could indicate a clogged drain line or a cracked drain pan
🔊 Loud or Unusual Noises
Buzzing, rattling, or knocking sounds: These are often signs of a failing compressor or unbalanced fan blade. Whether it’s a bar cooler at The Alamo in Newnan or a walk-in behind a busy diner, we respond fast before a complete breakdown occurs.

🧊 Commercial Ice Machine Cleaning & Repair
If you operate a restaurant, bar, hotel, or healthcare facility, your commercial ice machine is one of the most critical appliances in your building. It plays a direct role in customer satisfaction, beverage service, and food safety. However, ice machines are also one of the most overlooked when it comes to routine cleaning and maintenance.
At John’s Heating, Cooling, and Appliance Repair, we provide expert ice machine cleaning, repair, and maintenance services throughout Peachtree City, Fayetteville, Newnan, Griffin, and the Metro Atlanta area.
❗ Why Regular Ice Machine Cleaning Is So Important
Ice is considered a food product by the FDA, meaning your ice machine must meet food safety standards. Without regular cleaning, mold, slime, scale, and bacteria can build up in your machine, posing a health risk and causing failed health inspections.
Some of the most common issues that result from dirty or neglected ice machines include:
- Cloudy or bad-tasting ice
- Reduced ice production or slow cycles
- Ice is melting faster due to impurities
- Equipment freeze-ups or water line clogs
- Unsanitary bin or evaporator plate contamination
Our professional cleaning includes complete disassembly, deep sanitization of internal components, and drain and water line flushing. We also replace filters and check antimicrobial treatments if applicable.
