Mobile Reefer (Refrigeration) Repair

A reefer alarm with a loaded trailer is a clock you can't ignore. Find a unit tech fast.

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.

Call a reefer tech

Search the directory for trailer providers near you and call one with the alarm code and unit details. Confirm it services your Thermo King or Carrier unit, and agree on timing and the service-call fee.
