First steps and stakes
Do this now
What to do right now
Move perishables to backup refrigeration immediately. Document temperatures with photos. If internal temp exceeds 41°F, this is a critical health code violation. Same-day dispatch required.
If you wait
What happens if you wait
Food held above 41°F enters the temperature danger zone. California Department of Public Health treats malfunctioning refrigeration as a critical violation. A single failed unit during inspection can force a temporary closure.
Why refrigeration repair is hard to dispatch in Burbank
806 licensed technicians serve Burbank, but generalists rarely keep refrigeration repair parts on the truck. Boh works with the small set who do.
Why refrigeration repair happens faster in Burbank
Refrigeration failure threatens your entire food inventory. Health code requires food to be held below 41°F — a failed unit must be repaired or food must be discarded. Every hour matters.
Hard water sensors
Mineral scale fouls temperature probes
Burbank water runs 10–15 GPG — consistently very hard. Like Pasadena, it draws on a mix of MWD Colorado River supply and local San Fernando Valley groundwater. Scale accumulation in ice machines and steamers is aggressive and should be addressed on a shortened maintenance schedule.
Local conditions
Southern California operating environment
Southern California restaurants face accelerated equipment wear from particulate, humidity, and seismic factors, making early-warning service critical.
Common causes of refrigeration repair
Refrigerant leak (most common)
Condenser or evaporator fan motor failure
Defrost heater or timer failure
Door gasket failure causing temperature loss
Compressor failure

Walk-In Freezer Not Freezing
A freezer that isn't hitting 0°F puts your entire frozen inventory at risk. This is typically a compressor, refrigerant, or evaporator coil issue.
ProblemWalk-In Cooler Not Holding Temperature
A walk-in that can't maintain 41°F or below is a food safety emergency. Common causes include a failing compressor, refrigerant leak, or damaged door gaskets.
ProblemCited for Temperature Violation at Health Inspection
A health code temperature violation means food was found above 41°F in cold storage. Your refrigeration must be repaired and documented before a re-inspection.
