Reefer alarm codes

Thermo King and Carrier units throw alarm codes for low refrigerant, high discharge pressure, fuel, and sensor faults. Note the alarm number — it speeds diagnosis.

Protect the load first

Pre-cool, keep doors closed, and get a tech moving immediately. Many roadside reefer issues are belts, sensors, fuel, or refrigerant — fixable on-site.

Request a reefer tech

Submit the alarm code and location. If an eligible refrigeration provider responds, review its capabilities, ETA, and the customer-facing all-in total before assignment.

FAQ

Who repairs reefer units on the road?

Mobile refrigeration techs (Thermo King / Carrier certified) handle most roadside reefer faults — belts, sensors, fuel, refrigerant top-off, and diagnostics.

How fast can a reefer tech reach me?

Response and arrival times vary by location, current demand, and eligible provider availability. Review a responding tech's ETA before assignment; an ETA or arrival is not guaranteed.
