Why does my Argus Commercial Food Equipment condenser run for long periods of time?

  Your Argus Commercial Food Equipment condenser might run for extended periods due to several reasons. You may have placed an excessive amount of warm products inside, so allow them adequate time to cool down. Check for prolonged door openings or doors left ajar; ensure they are closed and avoid leaving them open. Inspect the door gaskets to ensure they are correctly installed and clean to create a proper seal. A dirty condenser coil could also be the cause, so clean it. Finally, the evaporator coil might be iced over; unplug the unit to allow it to defrost, ensure the thermostat isn't set too cold, and verify the door gasket seals properly.

  If the compressor on your Argus Commercial Food Equipment isn't running, start by checking the basics: a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker could be the culprit, so replace or reset it. Ensure the power cord is properly plugged in. Verify that the thermostat isn't set too high; if it is, lower the temperature setting. Lastly, the unit might be in a defrost cycle, so wait for it to finish.
