Crathco in Pinole
Crathco commercial service.
A Crathco FROZEN unit that turns granita into a solid block overnight has a control problem, not a product problem. The cold control sticks, the refrigeration keeps running past the set point, and by morning the auger cannot turn. Forcing it on is how drives get stripped. If that happens at your Pinole counter, whether in Old Town or near Fitzgerald Drive and Pinole Vista, switch the machine off and call before restarting it.
Pinole calls are handled by our technician based in Benicia. We diagnose at the machine, give you a written quote before any work, and credit the $99 diagnostic toward the repair. ADRIUM holds EPA 608 Universal certification for work on the sealed system.
Common repairs we handle.
- FROZEN unit locked solid overnight. A stuck cold control keeps freezing the product past its set point until the auger cannot move. We confirm the control failure, replace the thermostat or board, and inspect the auger and coupling for damage from the lockup before restarting. Then we watch a full freeze cycle to see the control end it on time.
- Mini-Pro running hot in a tight counter. A Mini-Pro tucked into millwork can end up breathing its own exhaust. The compressor overheats and trips, and the product thins. We clean the condenser, check the fan and tell you how much open space the unit needs around its vents.
- Auger motor noisy or slowing. Worn bearings make an auger motor noisy long before it fails. The auger slows under load, and product freezes unevenly. We test the motor's current and bearings and replace the motor when it has worn past saving. The coupling gets checked too, since a rough motor is hard on it.

FAQ
Crathco in Pinole questions, answered.
-
The granita froze solid and the machine will not turn. Should we keep trying to start it?
No. Switch it off and let it thaw. Forcing the auger against solid product can strip the drive and turn a control repair into a drive repair. We find out why it overfroze before restarting it. -
Our counter is busiest on weekends. When is the best time for a repair?
Early on a weekday usually works best. Drive, seal and control work fit into a morning before opening, and sealed-system repairs go on your slowest day. We confirm the time with you when you call. -
Is a Mini-Pro worth repairing, or is it a throwaway unit?
Worth repairing in most cases. Couplings, motors, seals and controls are wear items, and the cabinet and compressor usually have plenty of life left. We tell you plainly if a unit is past saving.
