Fridge Seal Replacement Services

The central part of any busy commercial kitchen, the fridge plays a vital role in ensuring you’re able to maintain high standards of health and safety when it comes to food service. Even more important is your fridge seal – the crucial bit of kit that ensures your produce remains fresh, chilled and fit for consumption.

Should your fridge seal fail, you’ll need to replace it as soon as possible, or you’re at risk of disruption to your daily operations, wasted produce, and increased energy use.

Here at FiltaSeal, our skilled technicians are on hand to provide fridge seal replacement services to businesses across the UK. We can replace any damaged or faulty commercial fridge seals that you may have,  supplying and fitting up to 95% of seal models on-site, and can even replace obsolete seals with our “retro” Fit Filta-Track System on certain units.

Fridge seals are usually in the form of a magnetic strip in a rubber or plastic coating which is used to hold the fridge door firm against the fridge body. The seal forms an airtight grip which ensures the cold air generated by the fridge doesn’t leak out into the room, keeping all the items within a cool temperature.

But after time, and due to overuse, a fridge door seal – also known as a gasket – can become faulty and no longer airtight. When this happens, warmer air gets into the fridge which contains bacteria and other micro-organisms, all of which can cause food to deteriorate.

Think your fridge seal might be faulty? Here’s how you can tell:

• Door popping open: If the door to your fridge pops open repeatedly, it’s a sign the seal has weakened and can no longer remain closed as it should.
• Warm interior: The most obvious symptom of a broken fridge door seal is that the contents inside are warm. If food doesn’t feel as chilled as it normally would, check your fridge seal.
• Condensation: Your fridge will start experiencing condensation if the fridge seal is broken, as a fault will allow warm air into the chamber. This will lead your food to spoil quickly and could also lead to leaks from the excess moisture.
• Fridge constantly running: Your fridge should be quiet for long periods of the day. If your fridge seal is broken, warm air will get in and cold air will escape, meaning the fridge will have to work harder to maintain an optimum temperature. So, if yours is constantly running, a broken fridge seal could be the culprit.
• Higher electricity bills: If your bills suddenly spike and there’s no clear reason why, it’s worth checking the your fridge seal. With the appliance working in overdrive, it’ll be using more electricity than usual.

We recommend checking your seals regularly to ensure they never deteriorate. Download our Refrigeration Seal Health Check to find out how to give your seals a health check and keep them in optimal condition.

• Profit margins: If your fridge seal is faulty the immediate impact on your business will be that food you had earmarked for serving or selling may no longer be fit for consumption. This will impact your profit margins, as any affected food will need replacing.
• Reputational impact: Should this happen at a time when you’re preparing to welcome customers, it could impact your operations to such an extent that your reputation becomes affected.
• Appliance longevity: Ensuring your fridge door seal is working to its optimum level will give your fridge a longer life span, too.
• Energy efficiency: As a modern business, you’ll always have one eye on sustainability and energy performance. A broken fridge seal forces a fridge to work harder to replenish its cold air. This requires more energy use, which will increase your bills and relies on greater carbon expenditure. Based on an average commercial kitchen, a new fridge seal vs a broken fridge seal could save 2,135 kg of CO2 per year, reduce energy consumption by up to 25% and help you save up to £500 per year in energy costs.
