To clean the condenser of your commercial refrigerator, you need to remove its grille, which is located near the bottom or back of the appliance. You can unscrew the device and move the grille away from the condenser by using an attachment hose. Next, clean the coils, being careful not to damage the fins. If necessary, you can use a small cleaning hose to remove dirt and other debris.
When cleaning the condenser, be sure to use a vacuum cleaner with a narrow nozzle, as this will help you reach hard-to-reach parts. Then, use a degreaser approved by the manufacturer. After cleaning the coils, use a fin straightener to straighten them.
Regular cleaning is essential to the performance and safety of your commercial refrigerator. If the condenser becomes dirty, it can cause overheating and other problems. It can also cause component failure. Cleaning commercial refrigerators can save you money by preventing spoilage and maintaining product quality.
A neglected commercial refrigerator can result in high energy bills and costly breakdowns. Keeping the condenser coil clean can also help your refrigerator be more energy efficient. A sealed condenser coil prevents the refrigerant from overheating, which damages the motor and other components. For this reason, it is important to schedule a cleaning and inspection appointment once or twice a year.
