A Routine Tuesday. Then the Fridge Stopped Working.
Around 6:00 AM, the manager of a busy convenience store in Madera unlocked the front doors for deliveries. She walked toward the back to begin unloading cases of milk, produce, and deli items.
But something was wrong.
The walk-in refrigerator felt… warm. Not just a little — warm enough to raise concern.
She looked at the digital display: 58°F.
Way above safe temperature for perishable items.
Panic set in. The store had just restocked nearly $10,000 in refrigerated inventory. A cooling failure could mean total product loss — and possible health code violations.
One Call Saved the Day (and the Inventory)
She Googled “walk-in fridge repair Madera CA” and called All Weather Air Conditioning, Refrigeration & Plumbing.
We dispatched a commercial refrigeration technician within an hour.
When we arrived, we quickly diagnosed the issue:
- A failed condenser fan motor
- The evaporator coil was iced over
- Airflow had stopped completely overnight
Our tech got to work — replacing the faulty motor, de-icing the coil, and verifying refrigerant levels. We also recalibrated the thermostat and tested the system’s cycling.
Within two hours, the fridge was cooling again.
Why This Was a Close Call
