Walk-In Cooler & Freezer Repair — Same Day or Next Day
Walk-in cooler and freezer temperature drifting, coil frozen solid, door seal torn, condensate pooling on the floor or the unit running non-stop — coolers and freezers, indoor and outdoor units in restaurants, bars, hotels, cafés and stores, and the rest of the commercial kitchen line too. There is a technician near you across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. The commercial diagnostic is $119, credited toward the repair. Calls are answered 24/7, and we usually come out the same day or the next. Most parts are already in the van, so repairs are typically finished on the first visit.

I called Starchenko to do a repair on the refrigerator at my office. The young lady I spoke with was very courtliest and set us up for an appointment that same day. When Arsen arrived at our office he quickly identified the problem and gave us a quote. He went and picked up the part to fix the refrigerator and was back and done with in an hour. I would recommend Starchenko repair all my friends and family for repairs.

Price
What walk-in cooler repair costs — and when you know the number
Walk-in cooler repair cost comes down to two numbers: the $119 diagnostic and the repair price the technician gives you after testing the equipment.
The $119 diagnostic
The diagnostic on a walk-in cooler or freezer is $119, and it comes off the repair: agree to the job and the $119 is deducted from the price for parts and labor. You pay it separately only if you hear the price and decide not to repair.
The repair price
The repair price depends on what testing finds in the room-sized system. The technician checks the ceiling evaporator, the condensing equipment, defrost, drain and insulated door opening, then gives you one price for parts and labor.
Payment
We take cards, Zelle, cash or a check. You get an invoice with the work and the warranty written on it.

Common problems
Walk-in cooler repair for cooling, frost and doors
Starchenko Appliance Repair services walk-in coolers and freezers for restaurants, shops and other businesses. Our refrigeration technicians handle cooling, defrost and door faults, with work matched to the room's refrigeration equipment.
Walk-in cooler not holding temperature
We repair walk-in coolers that run warm or recover slowly after the door closes. Our refrigeration specialists test the evaporator, condensing unit and temperature controls, so the repair covers the equipment responsible for lost cooling.
Walk-in freezer icing up
We service walk-in freezers with heavy frost on the evaporator or ice obstructing airflow. Our technicians regularly work on defrost heaters, termination controls and sensors, checking the full defrost operation during the repair.
Walk-in cooler door won't seal
We repair walk-in doors with damaged gaskets, worn hinges or closers that fail to pull the door shut. Our technicians are familiar with walk-in door hardware and match the repair to the door's fit and closure.
Water on the walk-in floor
We repair walk-in drainage faults that leave standing water or ice on the floor. Our refrigeration technicians service drain paths, heaters and connections, checking how defrost water leaves the room after the repair.
Walk-in cooler running constantly
We service walk-in cooling equipment that runs continuously without reaching the selected temperature. Our specialists handle condenser airflow, refrigerant-circuit faults and temperature controls, testing operating conditions before quoting the work.
Walk-in cooler fan not working
We repair walk-in evaporator and condenser fans that stop, scrape or run intermittently. Our technicians regularly handle fan motors, blades and switching components, with most parts for these fan repairs carried in the van.
Walk-in cooling performance falling off
We service walk-in equipment with declining cooling performance, dirty coils or recurring defrost interruptions. Our refrigeration technicians regularly handle coil and defrost repairs, cleaning the affected components and checking cooling under load as part of the service.
These are the walk-in cooler and freezer faults we get called out to most often — not the whole list. If your walk-in cooler and freezer is doing something else, call us: the $119 commercial diagnostic finds what failed and comes off the repair, same day or next day.
