Why is my Fridge not Working down to Temperature

As we experience another hot summer our kitchen ambient temperature rises higher than the outside temperature especially in the commercial kitchen environment. In this blog I'll explain what goes wrong with a fridge and why.

Do you know what Refrigerator Climate Class is ?

Commercial refrigerators are designed to work under climate conditions which are rated by climate classes. That Climate Class dictates the minimum and maximum temperature limits, within which the refrigerators are able to operate efficiently.

Different definitions of climate classes are based on different standards. There are 3 common climate conditions.
