Quick answer: Freezer rooms store frozen goods at around -18°C or colder. Freeze Please installs, services and repairs freezer rooms for hospitality, food production and cold storage businesses across South East Melbourne, with the thicker insulation, heated door frames and defrost systems that sub-zero rooms need.
How freezer rooms differ from cool rooms
- Thicker insulated panels and an insulated floor.
- Heated door frames that stop the seals freezing shut.
- A pressure relief vent that equalises air pressure when the door opens and closes.
- A defrost system that clears ice from the evaporator coil.
- Low-temperature refrigeration equipment.
Common freezer room problems
- Ice building up on the evaporator, floor or ceiling.
- Temperature rising above the set point.
- The door not sealing, or freezing shut.
- The condensing unit cycling frequently or making unusual noises.
- Water or ice forming around the door.
Ice build-up usually points to a defrost fault, a damaged door seal or a door left open. Left unchecked, it reduces cooling capacity and can lead to a breakdown.
Protecting stock if your freezer room fails
- Keep the door closed to hold the cold in for as long as possible.
- Check and record the room temperature and the time.
- Move high-value or high-risk stock to another freezer if one is available.
- Check that the condensing unit has power and the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped.
- Call us on 0455 944 925 with any error codes shown on the controller.

Frequently asked questions
What temperature should a freezer room be?
Freezer rooms typically run at around -18°C or colder, depending on the products stored.
Why is ice building up in my freezer room?
Common causes are a defrost system fault, worn or damaged door seals, a faulty door heater, or the door being left open. Each needs attention before the ice affects cooling.
Can a cool room be converted into a freezer room?
Not usually without significant changes. Freezer rooms need thicker panels, an insulated floor, door heaters and low-temperature equipment. We can assess your room and advise.
