Refrigerated Cabinet Technical Service in Barcelona
Refrigerated cabinets are the heart of any professional kitchen or fresh-produce business. At FrioTecPro (BCN Reparacions) we repair and maintain refrigerated cabinets of all types and brands in Barcelona, with over 35 years of experience in commercial and industrial refrigeration.
We handle emergencies around the clock because we understand that a fault in a refrigerated cabinet during a restaurant's service, or first thing in the morning at a butcher's shop, cannot wait until the next day. Our technicians carry the most common spare parts to resolve the fault on the first visit whenever possible.
Types of Refrigerated Cabinets We Repair
Hospitality refrigerated cabinets
One- or two-door stainless steel cabinets for professional kitchens, working between 0°C and +8°C. The most common brands in Barcelona are Infrico, Liebherr, Foster, Williams and True.
Combination cabinets (fridge and freezer)
Cabinets with two independent compartments: one refrigerated, one for freezing. Widely used in small bars and restaurants where space is limited.
Butcher's and delicatessen cabinets
Designed to keep fresh meat at a very precise temperature (0°C to +2°C) with humidity control. Usually fitted with forced ventilation and anti-frost systems.
Refrigerated display cabinets
With glass doors for product display. Widely used in bakeries, pastry shops, delicatessens and food stores. We repair interior LED lighting systems, glass panels and door seals.
Proving and fermentation cabinets
For bakeries and pastry shops, with precise temperature and humidity control. Common brands: Salva, Miwe, WP Bakery, Mondial Forni.
Wine and drinks storage cabinets
Wine coolers and beverage storage cabinets with precise temperature and humidity control. Working temperatures between +8°C and +18°C depending on the storage zone.
Most Common Faults in Refrigerated Cabinets
- Not cooling or cooling insufficiently — refrigerant gas shortage (leak), a faulty compressor or a very dirty condenser.
- Water dripping inside — a blocked drain, a failed defrost system or a door that doesn't seal properly.
- Ice forming on the interior walls — a faulty evaporator fan, a defective defrost sensor or a worn door gasket.
- The cabinet is very noisy — worn fan bearings, a vibrating compressor or loose interior panels.
- Interior lighting not working — replacement of LED tubes, drivers or electrical connections.
- Unstable temperature or above the set point — a faulty thermostat or electronic controller, a defective temperature probe.
- The compressor keeps starting and stopping — a poorly calibrated high-pressure switch, a dirty condenser or a gas shortage.

Repair or Replace the Refrigerated Cabinet?
One of the most frequent questions we're asked is whether it's worth repairing a refrigerated cabinet or whether it's better to replace it. Our philosophy is always repair before replacement, but there are cases where replacement is the most economical option in the long run.
We generally recommend repair when: the unit is less than 10-12 years old, the repair cost is under 50% of the value of a new unit, and the fault isn't structural (a full compressor or refrigeration circuit failure on a very old unit).
We recommend replacement when: the unit is over 15 years old, it uses R-134a or R-404A refrigerant on a very old unit that makes recharging difficult, or when the accumulated cost of recurring repairs exceeds the value of a new unit. In that case, we can also advise on purchasing the most suitable replacement.
