Guide to Reach-In Refrigeration

The Basics

Reach-in refrigerators are standard for back-of-the-house storage as well as in fast-casual and quick-service segments for grab-and-go items.

Quick Fact

Operators will often place glass-door units near the point of purchase to help spur impulse sales.

Cleaning and Maintaining

When properly maintained, reach-in refrigerators can last on average 15 years; best practices include cleaning reach-in condenser coils on a monthly basis.

Did You Know…

For enhanced energy efficiency, reach-in refrigerators with 3 inches of insulation operate on less horsepower, which saves operators money over time.

Choosing a Reach-In Refrigerator

Mechanical requirements of the equipment, such as the compressor location, electric and power, and overall dimensions to fit the space, should be considered when purchasing.

By the Way...

Regularly check gaskets and hinges since loose components will cause the door to drag and allow outside air into the unit.
