Our kitchen is in an old First Street building. Can the under-counter get enough air?

Usually, with some care. The condenser needs room to pull air in and push heat out. A grille that is blocked, or a unit shoved against a wall, chokes it. We check what the unit is breathing and suggest the smallest change that gives it room.

We have a Continental in a studio space at the Arsenal. Do you come there?

Yes. The Arsenal district mixes studios, small offices and light-industrial space, and a reach-in or under-counter there gets the same on-site diagnosis as one in a restaurant. Tell us about access and parking when you book.

Is it worth replacing a door gasket before it fully tears?

Yes. A gasket that no longer seals lets warm air in on every cycle, which frosts the coil and keeps the compressor running longer than it should. A gasket is a small part next to the compressor wear it prevents.

Continental Refrigerator in Benicia

Continental Refrigerator commercial service.

Our technician is based right here in Benicia. Downtown runs along First Street and the waterfront, and many of its buildings date from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Kitchens fitted into older buildings can be tight, and a Continental under-counter pushed into a corner may end up pulling in its own hot exhaust.

That is the first thing we look at on a warm under-counter: clearance around the condenser, the coil itself and the fan. Then the thermostat, the gaskets and the charge. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, the estimate is in writing, and nothing gets replaced until you say so. ADRIUM holds EPA 608 Universal certification for sealed-system work.

Common repairs we handle.

Under-counter running warm in a tight space. A condenser that recirculates its own warm air loses capacity, and the compressor runs long, hot cycles. We clean the coil, check the fan motor and measure the air temperature at the intake. If the space itself is the problem, we tell you what clearance the unit needs.
Compressor start relay and capacitor failure. Heat stress shows up in the start components first. The compressor clicks, hums and trips on overload without running. We test the relay, the capacitor and the windings, and replace the start parts when the compressor itself tests good.
Thermostat drifting after years of cycling. A thermostat that has cycled for years can drift off its setpoint, and the box runs a few degrees warm without anyone noticing until a food temperature check. We compare the control against a calibrated thermometer and replace it if it has drifted.
