Commercial Refrigeration
Commercial Refrigeration Repair in Miami
Zaldak Maintenance repairs and maintains commercial refrigeration for restaurants, bars, cafés, retail and medical sites across Miami-Dade and South Broward, including walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-in and prep units and commercial ice machines, with 24/7 dispatch when product is at risk.
When refrigeration fails, the clock starts on your inventory
A walk-in that drifts above safe holding temperature puts thousands of dollars of stock and a health inspection at risk within hours. In Miami, condensing units sit in kitchens, alleys and on roofs that run hot all year, and they work far harder than the same equipment in a cooler city. Dirty condenser coils, failing fan motors, iced evaporators and worn door gaskets are the usual causes, and most of them give warning signs before a full failure.
Our job is to get the box holding temperature again fast, find the actual cause, and set up the maintenance that stops it recurring. Refrigeration work is performed by appropriately licensed and certified technicians, as Florida and Miami-Dade requirements call for, including any work that involves handling refrigerant.
Walk-in coolers and freezers
- Temperature not holding, short cycling or running constantly
- Evaporator icing and defrost problems: heaters, timers, termination controls
- Condensing unit repair: compressors, fan motors, contactors, capacitors
- Refrigerant leak diagnosis and repair
- Door gaskets, closers, heater wires and strip curtains
- Floor, panel and drain line issues that let warm air or water in
Ice machines and reach-in units
Ice machines fail quietly: production drops, cubes come out thin or cloudy, or the machine stops harvesting. Scale from South Florida water, dirty condensers and clogged filters cause most of it. We clean, descale and sanitise ice machines, replace water filters, and repair harvest, water and refrigeration faults. For reach-ins, prep tables, display cases and bar coolers we handle the same core problems at a smaller scale: coils, fans, thermostats, gaskets and drains.
Who we work with
Restaurants and bars are the core of our refrigeration work, followed by convenience and specialty retail, hotel and condo amenity kitchens, and clinics that keep temperature-sensitive supplies. Multi-location operators get one point of contact and an equipment list per site, so a failing unit in one kitchen isn't a mystery to the next technician.
Emergency response and prevention
A box that isn't holding temperature is an emergency call. Our dispatch runs 24/7 with a typical response of about two hours; on site we stabilise the unit first, tell you whether product should be moved, and quote the permanent repair before going further. Afterwards we recommend a maintenance schedule (condenser coil cleaning, gasket checks, ice machine cleaning) that can be folded into the same plan as your HVAC and drains.

FAQ
Questions we get asked
Why is my walk-in cooler not keeping temperature?
The most common causes are a dirty condenser coil, a failed condenser or evaporator fan, an iced-over evaporator from a defrost fault, a refrigerant leak or a worn door gasket. A technician can usually narrow it down within the first visit by checking airflow, coil condition and pressures.
How often should an ice machine be cleaned?
Most manufacturers call for cleaning and sanitising at least every six months, and many restaurants in hard-water areas like Miami do it more often. Regular descaling and water filter changes keep production up and reduce breakdowns.
Is a walk-in freezer failure an emergency?
Yes, if product is inside. Once a walk-in freezer or cooler stops holding temperature, food safety rules and inventory loss start to matter within hours, so we treat it as an emergency and dispatch 24/7.
Are your refrigeration technicians licensed?
Refrigeration work is performed by appropriately licensed and certified technicians as Florida and Miami-Dade requirements call for, including refrigerant handling. Ask us for documentation for your site's records.
How much does commercial refrigeration repair cost?
It depends on the failure: a fan motor or gasket is a small job, a compressor or refrigerant leak is a larger one. We diagnose first and quote before any repair begins.
Do you repair ice machines in Miami?
Yes. We clean, descale, sanitise and repair commercial ice machines for restaurants, bars, hotels and offices across Miami-Dade and South Broward.
