Confirm a leak before adding refrigerant
Poor cooling does not by itself prove a refrigerant leak. A qualified provider should test the system, identify and repair a leak where found, and follow the equipment specification and applicable refrigerant-handling rules.
For the overall Chicago walk-in cooler repair service topic, see the homepage. If a compressor fault is suspected, review compressor diagnostics too.
Safe next steps
Do not vent refrigerant or attempt DIY charging. The provider must confirm the refrigerant type from the equipment documentation and follow applicable recovery, repair, and charging requirements.
