When your cold room needs attention
- 1
Room not holding temperature
The temperature climbs slowly even though the unit keeps running, or the products inside are warmer than they should be. The cause could be the evaporator, condensing unit, refrigerant level or controller, and only a site check tells which.
- 2
Evaporator icing up and stopping
Ice builds on the evaporator until airflow stops and cooling fails. The cause is usually in the defrost circuit, its sensor or the evaporator fan. Jeddah's humid air speeds up icing when anything in that circuit is not working correctly.
- 3
Door letting cold air escape
A worn or deformed door seal lets warm humid air in, overloading the refrigeration unit and speeding up evaporator icing. If the door frame heater has failed, moisture builds on the frame and the door becomes hard to open.
Who it's for
Running a restaurant or central kitchen cold room
We check the evaporator, defrost circuit and door seal in your kitchen cold room and fix any fault before your food stock is put at risk.
Ask on WhatsAppOperating a freezer room in a warehouse or retail outlet
We find the cause of temperature loss in your freezer room, inspect the rooftop condensing unit, controller and alarm, and complete a full running test before we leave.

- Controller and temperature alarm
How we work
How we work
- 1
Describe the fault
WhatsApp us what you see: the temperature showing on the controller, whether the unit is running or not, and the type of stock inside the room.
- 2
Site check and diagnosis
The technician checks the evaporator, condensing unit, defrost circuit, controller and door seal, then identifies the actual cause of the temperature loss before starting any work.
- 3
Repair and replacement
We fix what the diagnosis found: clean the evaporator, repair the defrost circuit, replace the seal or adjust the refrigerant charge to the type written on the unit nameplate.
- 4
Test and handover
We run the room and watch the temperature until it reaches the set value, confirm the alarm and controller are working, then hand you a report of what was done.

What sets this district apart
Industrial City houses large factories specialising in food production, pharmaceutical and chemical processing that require stable cooling. Cold rooms here are not simple but complex systems with precise temperature specifications, often with multiple rooms at different temperatures. Intense heat and coastal humidity in South Jeddah place heavy pressure on these systems, and minor faults can spoil expensive products.
Industrial City is in South Jeddah, dedicated to large factories producing temperature-sensitive materials.
Most factories here have complex multi-room refrigeration systems at different temperatures with precise control equipment.
The AC setup in Industrial City
- 1
Multi-room refrigeration systems at different temperatures
Factories here need multiple cold rooms at different temperatures for different products, each with separate or shared control systems.
- 2
High-capacity and high-precision cooling systems
The system runs heavy-duty compressors and large coils because factories operate at high load and need continuous, precise cooling.
- 3
High-efficiency seals and thermal insulation
Seals and thermal insulation must be robust to prevent any leakage and ensure the required thermal precision.
Before the visit
Before our visit in Industrial City
- 1
Provide the team with a factory layout and room locations
Factories are large and complex, so send a diagram showing room locations, outdoor units and electrical circuits.
- 2
Coordinate with maintenance management on the best visit time
Factories work to strict production schedules. Agree on a time that does not clash with production operations or loading and unloading.
- 3
Ensure adequate power supply and safe access to outdoor units
Make sure electrical circuits are adequate for heavy-duty systems and outdoor condenser units can be safely accessed.

FAQ
Questions about Cold rooms
Why does the temperature rise even though the unit runs all the time?
Continuous running does not mean correct operation. Common causes include a refrigerant leak that reduces the charge, heavy frost on the evaporator coil blocking airflow, or a fault in the rooftop condensing unit raising head pressure. A site survey identifies the actual cause before any work begins.
How do I know if the defrost cycle is working properly?
Clear signs of a defrost fault include thick frost covering the full evaporator coil, a gradual temperature rise while the unit keeps running, and water pooling on the floor instead of draining away. The check covers the heater element, the defrost sensor and the controller, as the fault can lie in any of these parts.
What does a preventive visit for a cold room cover?
A preventive visit covers a pressure check on the refrigeration circuit, cleaning the condenser and evaporator coils, inspecting door seals and frame heaters, testing the controller and alarm, and checking copper pipe connections. The aim is to find a developing fault before it affects the room temperature and the stock inside.
What is the difference between a preventive visit and a repair visit?
A preventive visit is carried out on a unit that is running normally: the purpose is inspection, cleaning and finding early signs of wear before they become a breakdown. A repair visit is requested when an actual fault appears, such as a rising temperature, a stopped compressor or excessive coil icing. Diagnosis comes first, then the required work is defined.
Does Jeddah's rooftop heat affect the condensing unit's performance?
Yes. In summer, Jeddah rooftop surfaces reach very high temperatures, which raises condensing pressure, stresses the compressor and reduces cooling capacity. Regular cleaning of the condenser coil to remove the dust and salt that cling to the fins is essential, not optional. A site survey determines whether the unit's position or the airflow around it is making the problem worse.
We have several rooms at different temperatures, can you service all of them?
Yes, we handle complex multi-room systems. We inspect each room separately and coordinate maintenance according to each one's requirements.
Temperature must be very precise, how do you verify this?
We inspect the temperature sensor and electronic controller, evaporator and condenser, and confirm the room maintains the required temperature precisely.
Dust and humidity here affect the condenser very quickly, is that right?
Yes, the humid industrial environment increases dust and condensation buildup. We clean the condenser more frequently than in other areas.
Do you offer long-term regular maintenance contracts for factories?
Yes, we provide customised regular maintenance contracts tailored to factory needs. Contact us to discuss the optimal maintenance schedule and required services.
