Commercial Refrigerator Repair
Commercial kitchens rely on multiple types of refrigeration equipment – each with its own design, components, and failure patterns. Our technicians are trained on the full range of commercial refrigerators used in NYC restaurants, bars, hotels, and food service operations. We arrive equipped for the job, with parts for the most common repairs on hand.
Single, double, and triple-door reach-in units for restaurants, bars, and delis. We repair compressor failures, thermostat faults, door gasket leaks, evaporator icing, and fan motor issues across all major brands.
Compact units built for tight commercial kitchen layouts. We service undercounter coolers and freezers used in prep stations, bar setups, and service lines — diagnosing everything from thermostat drift to control board failures.
Refrigerated prep tables are critical to high-volume kitchens. We repair temperature control failures, refrigerant leaks, damaged rail covers, and compressor issues in pizza prep, sandwich, and salad prep units.
Open and closed display refrigerators for delis, bakeries, and markets. We restore even temperature distribution, fix lighting systems, repair door mechanisms, and address condensation and frosting issues.
Undercounter bar coolers, kegerators, and back-bar refrigerators for bars and restaurants. We handle compressor replacements, door seal repairs, and refrigerant recharging – keeping your bar running without a gap in service.
Reach-in and undercounter commercial freezers for high-volume storage. We diagnose and repair units that aren't freezing properly, are icing up excessively, or are running louder than normal — restoring reliable sub-zero performance.
Scheduled maintenance plans for commercial refrigeration equipment — covering condenser coil cleaning, gasket inspection, refrigerant level checks, thermostat calibration, and performance testing to stay ahead of breakdowns and NYC health code requirements.
Commercial Refrigerator Repair NYC: Common Failure Signs
Commercial refrigerators run hard — continuously, through every service period. When they start to slip, the problem doesn't fix itself – and a refrigerator that fails to hold proper temperature is a direct food safety and health inspection risk. Here are the most common warning signs that your unit needs professional attention.
compressor failure, low refrigerant, or thermostat fault
refrigerant leak, dirty condenser coils, or failing start relay
defrost system failure, damaged door gasket, or faulty defrost timer
clogged drain line, cracked drain pan, or door seal failure
grinding, clicking, or loud humming from the compressor, evaporator fan, or condenser fan motor
condenser coil blockage, fan motor failure, or refrigerant overcharg
requires a diagnostic to find the root cause
a struggling compressor or leaking refrigerant causes the unit to run inefficiently and draw more power
A refrigerator that can't hold 41°F isn't just a maintenance problem — it's a health code violation waiting to happen.
The longer it runs outside proper range, the higher the chance of spoilage, product loss, and a failed health inspection. Call (646) 921-6775 – same-day diagnostic service available.

Why NYC Food Service Businesses Choose Screws
A commercial refrigerator failure during a dinner rush or busy weekend is a business emergency. We prioritize commercial calls and dispatch the same day whenever possible — because waiting until tomorrow means product loss tonight.
Our technicians are trained specifically on commercial refrigeration equipment — not residential units. We understand the difference between a True reach-in and a Traulsen roll-in, and we bring the right diagnostic tools and parts for the job.
You receive a clear, itemized quote before any work begins — parts, labor, and any additional components listed separately. No surprise invoices, no hidden service fees. What we quote is what you pay.
Every repair is backed by a warranty on parts and labor as specified in your invoice. If the same issue returns within the warranty period, we return and fix it at no additional charge — no arguments, no delays.
Commercial Refrigerators & NYC Food Safety Requirements
In New York City, commercial refrigerators are subject to strict food safety regulations enforced by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. NYC food safety code requires your refrigeration equipment to stay at 41°F (5°C) or below at all times. A refrigerator that consistently runs above this threshold puts your food inventory at risk and creates a direct pathway to a health code violation.
NYC restaurant inspections are unannounced. An inspector can walk through the door at any time — and a malfunctioning refrigerator with temperature logs showing readings above 41°F can result in a violation or closure order on the spot. The cost of a single A-to-B grade drop far exceeds the cost of prompt refrigerator repair.
Screws technicians understand the food safety requirements for commercial refrigeration equipment in NYC. When we repair your unit, we don't just get it running — we test and verify temperature performance to the standard your kitchen needs to stay compliant. A working refrigerator after our visit means a refrigerator that holds temperature, not just one that powers on.

Commercial Refrigerator Repair
NYC — FAQ
In most cases, we dispatch a technician the same day you call. A refrigerator failure is a business emergency — we treat it that way and prioritize commercial calls. For repairs requiring special parts, we provide a clear timeline upfront, typically within 24–48 hours.
Yes. We service virtually all commercial refrigerator brands used in NYC kitchens — including True, Traulsen, Beverage-Air, Turbo Air, Hoshizaki, Continental, Delfield, Atosa, Arctic Air, Victory, Perlick, Randell, and more. Don't see your brand? Call us — chances are we've worked on it.
Yes, it is. NYC food safety code requires commercial refrigerators to hold 41°F (5°C) or below at all times. A unit running warmer than that is a direct health inspection risk. Call us immediately — we test and verify temperature performance to compliance standards after every repair.
We repair all types of commercial refrigeration equipment: reach-in coolers and freezers, undercounter units, prep tables, sandwich and pizza prep units, display cases, back-bar coolers, kegerators, and bar refrigerators. One call covers all of it.
Costs depend on the equipment type, brand, and the nature of the fault. Common repairs like door gasket replacement or thermostat service run $150–300. Compressor replacement typically ranges from $500–900. We provide a clear, itemized quote before starting any work — no hidden fees. The diagnostic visit fee is applied toward the repair if you proceed.
We come to you — on-site service is our standard for all commercial clients throughout Manhattan. Our technicians arrive with tools and, in most cases, the parts needed for the job. No need to disconnect and transport heavy refrigeration equipment.
Yes. We offer scheduled maintenance plans covering condenser coil cleaning, evaporator inspection, door gasket checks, refrigerant level verification, thermostat calibration, and overall performance testing. Regular maintenance significantly reduces breakdown risk and keeps your equipment compliant with NYC food safety requirements.
Warranty on parts and labor is specified in your invoice — clearly and transparently. If the same issue returns within the warranty period, we come back and fix it at no additional charge.
Loud compressor noise — grinding, rattling, or hard starting — typically indicates a worn start relay, failing capacitor, or a compressor approaching the end of its service life. Don't ignore it. A failing compressor that runs continuously can drive up your electricity bill before it fails completely. Call us for a diagnostic visit.
We give you an honest assessment after diagnostics. As a general rule: if the unit is under 8 years old, repair is almost always more cost-effective than replacement. For older units, we calculate the repair-to-replacement cost ratio and recommend what makes sense for your operation long-term. We don't push unnecessary repairs — and we don't avoid giving you a straight answer.
