If your cool room isn't maintaining the correct temperature, it can quickly become a serious issue—especially for businesses dealing with perishable goods. A rise in temperature not only affects product quality but can also lead to compliance concerns and operational losses. Below are the most common causes of cool room temperature issues and what you can do to address them.
Poor or damaged insulation can allow warm air to seep in, making it harder for the system to maintain the desired temperature.
✅ Check: Wall panels, ceiling, and doors for visible damage or moisture penetration.
Sometimes, the issue is as simple as a misconfigured thermostat.
✅ Check: That the thermostat is correctly set and hasn’t been accidentally adjusted.
Faulty gaskets can cause cold air to leak and warm air to enter.
✅ Check: Door seals for cracks, tears, or dirt buildup. Replace if worn out.
Blocked or dusty condenser coils reduce the system’s efficiency.
✅ Check: That the coils are clean and free of obstructions to allow proper heat exchange.
A failing fan can prevent proper air circulation, resulting in uneven cooling.
✅ Check: Whether the fan is spinning freely and without unusual noise.
A refrigerant leak can severely limit cooling capability and should be addressed quickly.
✅ Solution: Contact a technician to inspect for leaks and top up refrigerant safely.
Components like the compressor, evaporator, or thermostat may be malfunctioning.
✅ Solution: These issues typically require a professional diagnosis and repair.
Excess items can block airflow and prevent even cooling.
✅ Check: Ensure items are spaced out and not blocking fans or vents.
