About Kolpak

Kolpak (Tennessee, part of Welbilt) builds walk-in coolers and freezers for restaurants, grocery, schools and convenience stores, often paired with pre-assembled refrigeration systems.

Most walk-in calls are a warm box, an iced-over evaporator or a door that won't seal. We check the condensing unit, defrost, fans and door hardware so the fix lasts.

Kolpak commercial repair FAQ

Do you repair Kolpak walk-in freezers?
Yes — the refrigeration system, defrost, drains, doors and heater wires on Kolpak walk-in coolers and freezers.
Do you offer emergency walk-in repair?
Yes. After-hours and weekend emergency service is available across the Twin Cities.
What does Kolpak walk-in repair cost?
$199 commercial trip fee, waived with repair, and a written quote before work. 1-year warranty.
Do you service Kolpak equipment under manufacturer warranty?
We are not a factory-authorized warranty servicer for Kolpak. If your unit is still inside the manufacturer parts warranty, we'll help you file with the factory; if labor or out-of-warranty service is the concern, we can take the call directly with a 1-year written warranty on our parts and labor.
What warranty comes with a Kolpak repair?
A 1-year written parts-and-labor warranty on every commercial repair. The same failure mode on the same unit within 12 months is covered at no additional charge. Sealed-system components can carry an extended manufacturer warranty on top; those terms are itemized on the invoice.
What is the diagnostic fee for a Kolpak commercial service call?
The commercial trip charge is $199 and it is waived with any repair — approve the work on the same visit and the fee comes off the invoice. Sealed-system, compressor, and major-component work is quoted in writing before we recover refrigerant or open the cabinet.
