Need a reefer mechanic in eastern PA - anybody knows one?

What kind of problem?

Are you loaded? If so they may have loaded hot product. I had that happen a month ago.
If you have a condo sleeper drop the trailer and pull up a couple feet.
When was the last time the condenser was cleaned?
If you’re trying to get loaded and have a center chute. You can take a load lock and pinch the chute off about 2-3’ from the tail end. You may need a block of wood depending on your load locks.

 

Check if the ball is floating in the sight glass on the receiver tank.That is a long cylindrical tank located on the curbside of the unit.If not then its low on freon and you know what's wrong with it.Possibly you could get it someone to just top up freon.I,d do it but I'm a long way from way from Philly.Good luck

 

When he had a trucking company I used to have that problem. They would load off the line and expect our reefer units to "freeze" it. Went down there more than once with a laser thermometer to straighten them out.

 

Something simple that I have seen more times than I can count....
wood from busted pallets clogging the drains on the front of the trailer. Condensation backs up and it will struggle to cool... 2 or 3 days to get to -10° but will maintain below freezing. It also makes the compressor work overtime and you burn more fuel.

 

Check the intake next time your empty you may have shrink wrap in intake.
