Directions: Read the statements carefully. Write the letter of the correct answer in the space
provided.

1. What is the primary cause of power issues in commercial refrigerators?

A. Dirty condenser coils C. Faulty thermostats
B. Electrical surges D. inadequate power supply

2. You are the owner of a busy restaurant, and one of your chefs notifies you that the temperature
in the commercial refrigerator is not as cold as it should be. You suspect that the evaporator fan
might be faulty. Given this situation, which of the following actions would be the most appropriate
to diagnose the faulty evaporator fan?
A. Ask the chef if they have heard any unusual noises coming from the refrigerator.
B. Use a thermometer to check the temperature inside the refrigerator.
C. Inspect the evaporator coils for any signs of frost buildup.
D. Look for signs of moisture inside the refrigerator.

3. What is the consequence of temperature problems in commercial refrigerators?

A. Food spoilage C. Compressor failure
B. Frost buildup D. Increased energy consumption

4. Imagine you're in a hot summer day, and you've been trying to turn on your air conditioner, but
it won't start. After checking a few things, you need to identify the most common issue that could
be causing this problem. Which of the following is likely to be the primary reason for your air
conditioner not turning on?
A. Low refrigerant levels
B. Dirty air filter
C. Faulty thermostat
D. Inadequate ventilation

5. You are on a hot and humid summer day, and you notice that despite turning on your air
conditioner, the room temperature remains uncomfortably warm. You check the air conditioner
unit and observe that it is running, but there is no noticeable cooling effect. What could be the
most likely reason for this issue?
A. The air filter hasn't been cleaned for a long time, causing it to be clogged with dirt and
debris, restricting the airflow and reducing the cooling capacity of the air conditioner.
B. The thermostat of the air conditioner is faulty, leading to incorrect temperature readings and
preventing the unit from cooling the room effectively.
C. The refrigerant levels in the air conditioner are low, which could be a result of a leak or
insufficient charging, leading to reduced cooling performance.
D. The room lacks proper ventilation, preventing the cool air from circulating adequately and
causing the air conditioner to struggle in cooling the room effectively.
