Not holding temperature
Slow pull-down, the temperature creeping up between drops, or a high-temperature alarm.

Truck and trailer refrigeration repairs
When a refrigerated truck or trailer can’t hold temperature, the load and the delivery run are both at risk. I repair and service truck and trailer fridge units, including Thermo King and Carrier Transicold, across Melbourne and Victoria, 24/7.

Fridge units on trucks and trailers
Truck and trailer fridge units have a lot in common with reefer containers: the same brands, similar controllers and the same kinds of faults. I fix refrigerant leaks, compressor and fan faults, controller faults and electrical problems in transport units too.
Ring me first. Tell me where the vehicle is, the brand and model of the fridge unit, the set point, the temperature it’s reading and any alarm code, and I’ll tell you when I can get there.
