Common Foster faults we fix

Foster reliability is good — but commercial refrigeration in heavy use eventually needs attention. Our Foster-trained engineers know the range inside out: EcoPro G2/G3 cabinets, XR Commercial, FSL Slimline, FCB blast chillers and walk-in condensing units.

Cabinet not holding temperature

Refrigerant leak, fan motor failure, evaporator iced up, blocked condenser or controller fault. The most common Foster call-out in Kent.

Door seal failure

Extremely common after 12–18 months of heavy use — causes condensation, ice build-up and energy waste. Seals carried on van for first-visit fix.

Excessive evaporator ice

Defrost cycle fault, sensor issue or compromised door seal. Diagnosed and corrected on site.

Compressor faults

Short cycling, failure to start or overheating. Refcom F-Gas registered for full refrigeration-circuit work.

Drainage issues

Blocked drain on counter units, pump failure on walk-ins. Cleared, tested and repaired.

Controller / display faults

Failed temperature controllers, sensors and display boards across the EcoPro and XR ranges. Board-level diagnosis and replacement.
