Commercial chiller repair for Dubai businesses
Chillers in Dubai shops run long hours, have their doors opened hundreds of times a day and often sit in back rooms that get very hot. Condensers clog with dust, fan motors wear out and door gaskets tear, and the unit keeps running without ever reaching temperature.
We repair upright glass-door bottle coolers, open multideck display chillers, under-counter and back-bar chillers, cake and pastry displays, saladettes and walk-in chiller rooms. Visits for businesses can be arranged outside trading hours on request.
Food businesses need chilled food kept at 5 °C or below. A chiller that drifts above that is a food-safety problem as well as an inconvenience, so we treat it as urgent.
Chiller faults we fix
Not cooling, temperature rising
A dirty condenser, a failed condenser fan, a refrigerant leak or a compressor that won't start.
Ice on the evaporator coil
A defrost fault, a failed evaporator fan or a controller set incorrectly.
Water leaking from the unit
A blocked or frozen drain line, or a cracked drain tray.
Fans not running
Worn fan motors, a faulty door switch or a controller fault.
Compressor cycling on and off
Low gas, a failing start capacitor, an overheating condenser or a faulty probe.
Alarm on the digital controller
A failed probe, a high-temperature alarm or a door left open. We read the code and fix the cause.
Glass doors fogging or not sealing
Torn gaskets, failed anti-fog door heaters or doors out of alignment.
Lights out or display dim
Failed LED strips, drivers or wiring.

Keep commercial chillers in good shape
- Brush dust off the condenser at least once a month in busy shops.
- Don't block the air curtain on open chillers by loading above the line.
- Keep doors closed and replace torn gaskets quickly.
- Log cabinet temperatures daily so a slow drift is spotted early.
- Leave space around the unit so the condenser can breathe.
Chiller Repair FAQs
Can you come outside our trading hours?
Yes, on request. Tell us your opening times when you book and we'll plan the visit around them where we can.
Do you repair walk-in chiller rooms?
Yes. We repair condensing units, evaporators, controllers, door heaters and gaskets on walk-in chillers.
Do you offer maintenance visits for shops and restaurants?
Yes. We can set up regular visits to clean condensers, check gas pressures and controllers, and replace gaskets before they fail. Ask when you call.
What temperature should a display chiller be set to?
For chilled food, keep the product at 5 °C or below. Most display chillers are set somewhere between 0 and 5 °C depending on what they hold.
What refrigerants do you work with?
Common commercial refrigerants including R290, R404A and R134a. We match the refrigerant to the unit's rating plate.
