Fixed a Failed Defrost Termination Klixon on an Axtell Restaurant Walk-In Freezer 10.22.26

A walk-in freezer at an Axtell restaurant was icing up, with inspections coming up. Clay traced the problem to a failed defrost termination klixon. That small thermostat on the evaporator coil tells the defrost cycle when the ice has melted and it is safe to go back to cooling. When it fails, defrost can end before the coil is clear, and frost builds a little more every cycle until it chokes off airflow. Clay corrected the fault and the freezer was clearing its coil properly again in time for the inspection. Walk-in freezer frosting over? Call 254-272-2714 for same-day service across Central Texas.
