A workable plan depends on the diagnosis, equipment condition and how the business can manage without that unit.
| Option | When it fits | What it involves |
|---|
| Repair now | The failed part is identified and repairable or a suitable replacement is at hand. | Approve the work, complete the repair and test operation. |
| Temporary cooling plan while a part is ordered | Another working cooler or freezer can accommodate the food. | Stop using the failed unit, move food to working storage, keep doors shut and log temperatures. |
| Replace the unit | An aging unit, major sealed-system failure or discontinued parts makes repair impractical. | Compare the equipment condition and business needs when deciding on replacement. |
Your technician inspects the equipment on site and explains which option suits the actual fault.
