A Commercial Fridge Maintenance Checklist
- Deep clean your fridges inside and outside: Your fridges will need a deep clean every few months. Remove all items from the interior and move them to another unit. Scrub the shelves and interior walls with a soft brush and a warm soap or vinegar solution. Remove the shelves and soak them before scrubbing them individually. Be sure to clean up any spills or stains. Wipe down the exterior of the fridges and remove any dirt that may have collected on the door seals.
- Clean the condenser coils: Every three months, you should clean your condenser unit. Dirt or dust that may collect on the unit can make it difficult for the fridge to maintain a consistent temperature. First, disconnect the power and use a stiff-bristled brush to clean away dust. You can also use a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt.
- Clean the evaporator coil: Keep the evaporator coil clean as well. It can be cleaned in much the same way as the condenser coils.
- Clean tubes and drain pans: These should be cleaned every month. Clean the pan using a vinegar solution or warm soap water, and keep a careful lookout for any blockages in the tubes.
- Clean the door seals: They seem like such an insignificant component, but door seals are actually more important than you realise. They can be cleaned monthly, or even more frequently if the fridge is positioned in a kitchen where grease is regularly used.
