Are You Defrosting Appropriately?

Aug 7th 2017

It’s getting towards the end of the harsh summer season. Your refrigeration units should be scheduled for periodic maintenance soon. In the meantime, make sure your freezers are defrosting appropriately.

Find the time clocks that control your freezer defrost and set them properly. The time clocks might located on top of or underneath your freezers, on the wall, or roof. There is a clock for each freezer. You may be able to reduce the # of defrost cycles (depending on your area) from 4 to 3 times daily. Each cycle should be about 15 minutes long. Never defrost between Noon & 6pm. That is when you pay the most for electricity! Also make sure that the evaporator drain line is heated & insulated so that the defrost condensate has some place to go. Improper defrosting can waste a lot of your money & compromise safe freezer temperatures.
