Our commercial refrigeration tech for the Ventura, CA, area arrived at a weight loss center to perform approved repairs. The Traulsen freezer had ice build up in the drain pan, found on the previous maintenance. Tech removed ice and adjusted drain pan slope so water can drain properly. During inspection found oil residue in condensate drain pan. Performed a leak check on the system and found small refrigerant leak on discharge line copper pipe, pipe was cracked. Technician recovered the freezer's refrigerant, repaired leak and replaced the filter drier. Pulled unit into vacuum and recharged with 404A refrigerant. Checked operations after making repairs, found no more issues. Monitored unit until temperatures dropped to freezing, job complete.
