Raised lids left open, missing night covers, pans packed above the fill line and dirty condensers in a hot pass are the classic list. Evaporator fans in the well seize. Gaskets tear. Controllers lose set point after a power cut. Low refrigerant after a leak warms the rail first. We measure air in the well and in the base before we talk parts.
