Replacement Part Not Available...Let's Make It!
Channel: HVACR Survival
Date: 2023-01-08

Sometimes the parts are not available for several refrigeration units and this was the case for this walk in cooler. I had a service call a month ago and found the cooler low on refrigerant. I locaited the leak in the condensate pan loop. Normally we can order a new one but not this time. I returned back to finish the repair. Check it out.
