First steps and stakes

Do this now
What to do right now
Move perishables to backup refrigeration immediately. Document temperatures with photos. If internal temp exceeds 41°F, this is a critical health code violation. Same-day dispatch required.
If you wait
What happens if you wait
Food held above 41°F enters the temperature danger zone. California Department of Public Health treats malfunctioning refrigeration as a critical violation. A single failed unit during inspection can force a temporary closure.

Why refrigeration repair is hard to dispatch in Los Angeles

3000 licensed technicians serve Los Angeles, but generalists rarely keep refrigeration repair parts on the truck. Boh works with the small set who do.

Local context

Why refrigeration repair happens faster in Los Angeles

Refrigeration failure threatens your entire food inventory. Health code requires food to be held below 41°F — a failed unit must be repaired or food must be discarded. Every hour matters.

Hard water sensors
Mineral scale fouls temperature probes
LA tap water runs 10–16 GPG in most restaurant-dense neighborhoods — 3–4× the 3.5 GPG threshold at which scale damage begins. Eastern LA and Harbor areas reach the high end of this range. Hardness worsens in drought years when the city relies more heavily on unblended Colorado River water.
Local conditions
Southern California operating environment
Southern California restaurants face accelerated equipment wear from particulate, humidity, and seismic factors, making early-warning service critical.

Problem
Cited for Temperature Violation at Health Inspection
An LA County temperature violation means food was found above 41°F in cold storage. Your refrigeration equipment must be repaired and documented before a re-inspection.
Problem
Walk-In Freezer Not Freezing
A freezer that isn't hitting 0°F puts your entire frozen inventory at risk. This is typically a compressor, refrigerant, or evaporator coil issue.
Problem
Walk-In Cooler Not Holding Temperature
A walk-in that can't maintain 41°F or below is a food safety emergency. Common causes include a failing compressor, refrigerant leak, or damaged door gaskets.
