Is Your Prep Cooler Having Trouble?
Prep coolers sit next to the hot line and open all shift long, so small problems show up fast. These are the ones we see most.
Warm Top Rail
Ingredients in the top pans won't stay cold during service.
Base Cabinet Not Cooling
The lower compartment runs warm even when the unit is on.
Uneven Temperatures
The rail and base hold different temps, or one side runs warmer.
Condensation & Ice
Sweating pans, frost on the coil, or ice around the base.
Compressor Problems
The unit runs constantly, short cycles, or won't start.
Noisy Fans or Motors
Rattling, buzzing, or grinding from the evaporator or condenser fans.
Faulty Thermostat
Temperature settings don't match what the unit actually holds.
Worn Gaskets & Lids
Torn door gaskets or a rail lid that won't close tight.

Prep Cooler Repair Questions
Why is the top rail warm but the base is cold?
This usually points to an airflow or fan problem, an overfilled rail, a lid left open, or a refrigeration issue that can't keep up with the open pans. A diagnostic visit finds the cause.
Why is my prep cooler running all the time?
A dirty condenser, low refrigerant, worn gaskets, or a failing thermostat can make the unit run nonstop. Prep units near the cook line often get grease buildup on the condenser.
What types of prep coolers does SAAGA repair?
We repair refrigerated prep stations including pizza prep tables, sandwich and salad prep units, and refrigerated prep rails with base cabinets.
When should I call a technician?
Call when the rail or base won't hold safe temperature, you see ice or water buildup, or the unit is making new noises. Early calls usually mean smaller repairs.
