Installation & Service Technicians:

For installation questions regarding your Walk-in cooler/freezer, always refer to the Installation manual that was provided with your order. If you have questions regarding Russell Refrigeration Equipment, tech support, Econet Tech Support, or warranty issues, please call Tech Support/Econet Support directly. See phone numbers at the bottom of this message.

If the walk-in cooler refrigeration is having issues, such as not holding temperature or icing up excessively, you should call a licensed refrigeration contractor to troubleshoot the system. Your contractor will then evaluate what is going on with the system and determine the best way to proceed.

If the contractor calls the Russell HTPG Technical Support line, they will need to provide the HTPG support personnel with the equipment's model and serial number. In addition, the information highlighted in the checklist document is extremely helpful during a support call.

If a part fails and the equipment is still under warranty, HTPG Technical Support will discuss with the on-site refrigeration contractor the best way to get them the required part.

There are two primary options.

  • HTPG will send a part at no charge
    • This is typically sent overnight air but if it’s late in the day or there’s a weekend involved, it could end up taking longer.
  • HTPG will discuss with the contractor going to a local supply house and purchasing the part there.
    • If a supply house is close and they have the part in stock, this can be quicker.
    • The contractor will then create an invoice with the part receipt for reimbursement.

The Russell HTPG Evaporator coils are equipped with smart coil technology (Econet), which requires programming.
