Foster refrigeration engineers covering Kent
Foster has been the workhorse of UK commercial refrigeration for decades — and across Kent kitchens it’s the brand we attend most often. Whether it’s an EcoPro G3 cabinet running at the wrong temperature in a gastropub, an XR commercial fridge in a hotel kitchen, or a walk-in cold room running on a Foster condensing unit, our engineers know the Foster range inside out.
Foster reliability is good — but commercial refrigeration in heavy use will eventually need attention. Door seals fail. Evaporator coils ice up. Condensing units lose efficiency. Service agreements catch most of these before they become an emergency call-out.

Foster expertise
Engineers experienced specifically with Foster equipment — common faults, parts sourcing, manufacturer error codes.
Common Foster faults we diagnose
The most common Foster faults we attend across Kent:
- Cabinet not holding temperature — refrigerant leak, fan motor failure, evaporator iced up, blocked condenser, controller fault.
- Door seal failure — extremely common after 12-18 months of heavy use. Causes condensation, ice build-up, energy waste.
- Excessive ice on evaporator — defrost cycle fault, sensor issue, door seal compromise.
- Compressor faults — short cycling, failure to start, overheating.
- Drainage issues — blocked drain on counter units, pump failure on walk-ins.
- Controller / display faults — failed temperature controllers, alarm not clearing, calibration drift.
- F-Gas leak detection — Refcom F-Gas registered for periodic leak checks required by regulation on certain charge sizes.
Service-agreement holders get planned refrigeration maintenance — F-Gas-compliant leak checks, condenser cleans, seal inspections, controller calibration — built in.

Foster repair questions
My Foster fridge isn’t holding temperature — can you attend today?
Same working day for emergencies wherever possible. Engineers based in Deal and Dover cover all of Kent. Refcom F-Gas registered for any work involving the refrigeration circuit.
Which Foster ranges do you service?
We service the EcoPro G2 and G3 ranges, the XR commercial range, FSL slimline cabinets, FCB blast chillers and Foster’s commercial freezer line. If you have a Foster product not listed, get in touch — we likely cover it.
Do you carry Foster parts?
Common Foster service parts — door seals, fan motors, evaporator coils, thermostats — are stocked on van. Specialist parts are sourced same working day through our supply relationships.
Can you service walk-in cold rooms with Foster condensing units?
Yes — Refcom F-Gas registered for full refrigeration work including walk-in cold rooms, blast chillers and freezer rooms. Cater Solutions market this aggressively in Kent — we deliver the same scope without the domain spam.
Should I have a service agreement on my Foster fridges?
Refrigeration is the equipment most often missed in operator maintenance — and the failure that hurts most. F-Gas regulations also require periodic leak checks for units above certain charge sizes. A service agreement covers both.
