Cake display fridge repairs: what goes wrong
Cake and deli displays are fan assisted or static cabinets with glass on three or four sides, which makes them the display type most prone to misting and to warming from the room and the lighting. Many have humidity control to stop pastry drying out and rotating shelves driven by a small motor. Deli counters work like a butchery counter but at a slightly higher temperature.
Faults we see include glass misting from failed heaters or high humidity, cabinets that cannot hold temperature in a sunny café window, fans that have become noisy or stopped, rotating shelf motors that have failed, LED lighting faults, probes reading wrongly, and the usual condenser, compressor and gas issues. Cakes freezing at the back near the evaporator is a sign of a damper or airflow problem.
We understand that these cabinets are the shop window of a bakery, so we repair them cleanly and quickly and leave the glass clear.

On site repair
How we repair cake and deli display fridges
Glass heaters, fans, rotating motors, lighting, controllers, probes, gaskets and compressors are replaced on site, and cabinets are regassed after a leak test. Where misting is caused by café humidity rather than a fault we explain what can be done, from adjusting the heater to improving ventilation around the cabinet.
For bakeries and cafés we can visit early before opening so the cabinet is at temperature and the glass clear when the first customers arrive.

FAQ
Cake display fridge repair questions
Why does the glass on my cake fridge keep misting?+
The glass heater has failed, the heater is not strong enough for a humid room, or the cabinet is holding too much moisture. We test the heaters and the humidity control and advise on the cabinet's position.
Can you repair the rotating shelves?+
Yes. The drive motor and gearbox are replaceable, and a jerking rotation is often a worn bearing or an obstruction that is quick to fix.
Do you repair deli counters as well as cake displays?+
Yes. Deli counters, cheese displays and sandwich bars are all part of our commercial work in Harare.
