How we repair your Prep Table
A refrigerated prep table combines a cutting board work surface, an open rail of ingredient pans, and refrigerated storage underneath. Every prep table relies on a compressor, condenser, evaporator, fans and a control board or thermostat working together, plus door gaskets that hold the cold in. A technician starts by measuring cabinet and coil temperatures, checking airflow and defrost operation, then tests electrical parts before ever touching the sealed system.
For restaurants and stores, a warm cooler means spoiled inventory and possible health code problems, so commercial refrigeration calls are treated as priority visits.
