Further diagnosis was completed after an upright freezer at a Carindale food retail site remained above its required operating temperature.
The challenge:
The cabinet was sitting at approximately -3°C. The compressor was extremely hot, while suction pressure was around 50 psi—higher than the expected reading of approximately 30 psi.
Our solution:
ACRO checked the operating pressures, removed a small amount of refrigerant, cooled the compressor and continued testing its performance.
The result:
Testing indicated that the compressor was not pumping effectively. Compressor replacement was recommended rather than incorrectly treating the refrigerant charge as the only issue.

When a freezer cannot reach temperature, accurate diagnosis matters.
