Commercial walkin condenser freezing up
Defrost Timer on walk in cooler
There are lots of reasons a condenser will freeze up, low refrigerant, blocked air flow, fan or blower running slow or if the compressor is outside and the outside air temperature is to low.
I have a walk in cooler at work and all the things listed above were OK, but the unit would freeze up from time to time. I noticed it happened on humid days and when we placed items that would sweat a lot (beer kegs) into the cooler. We had employees keep the door closed as much as possible while going in and out. We also replaced the insulation around the door.
