Protect product temperature
Reliable operation helps keep refrigerated and frozen products within the intended holding range.

Hold temperature.
Protect the operation.
Reach-in coolers and freezers are opened constantly, loaded heavily, and expected to hold temperature all day. Planned maintenance helps protect product, improve equipment condition, and prepare your operation for EcoSure and Corporate RGR visits.
Small equipment details protect the bigger operation.
Clean, stable, temperature-ready equipment inspires confidence before every visit.
Why it matters
Inspection readiness meets
equipment reliability.
Prepare for key visits
Documented maintenance supports cleaner, better-prepared equipment ahead of EcoSure and Corporate RGR visits.
Catch gasket problems
Worn, torn, loose, or poorly sealing door gaskets are identified and submitted for approval before replacement.
Prevent emergency failures
Dirty condensers, failing fans, electrical issues, and poor door seals are caught before they become shutdowns.
Extend equipment life
Clean heat-transfer surfaces and correct operation reduce avoidable strain on compressors and components.
Build a service history
A documented findings report helps operators prioritize repairs and track recurring equipment concerns.
The Kendrick approach
Inspect every detail.
Verify the system.
We combine cleanliness and condition checks with a full operational review. Any gasket requiring replacement is documented and presented for approval before replacement work is completed.
01
Reach-In Coolers
- Inspect door gaskets for tears, gaps, looseness, and sealing condition
- Document gaskets needing replacement and submit them for customer approval
- Inspect wheels, casters, legs, and equipment stability
- Clean the condenser coil and accessible condenser area
- Inspect condenser and evaporator fan operation
- Inspect door hinges, handles, latches, closers, and alignment
- Inspect accessible drains and identify blockage or water concerns
- Inspect electrical components, wiring, and connections
- Verify temperature control, thermometer, and operating temperature
- Complete an overall operational test and document findings
02
Reach-In Freezers
- Complete all applicable reach-in cooler inspection items
- Verify the defrost cycle functions correctly
- Confirm defrost settings are appropriate for the equipment and operation
- Inspect for excessive frost or ice accumulation
- Inspect door heaters and anti-sweat components where applicable
- Check evaporator fans after defrost and during normal operation
- Verify the unit returns to temperature after the defrost cycle
- Document deficiencies and repairs recommended to prevent future failures
Final scope and frequency are tailored to the equipment, operating conditions, safe accessibility, manufacturer guidance, and service agreement. Repairs and replacement parts require approval unless specifically included.
03
Included after every PM
Recommended
repair report.
Every reach-in cooler and freezer PM ends with a clear list of findings and recommended repairs. We identify concerns before they affect temperature, product, inspection readiness, or cause an avoidable equipment failure.
- Gaskets and parts requiring approval
- Observed equipment and cleanliness concerns
- Priorities for repair planning
- A documented path from finding to correction
