Our reach-in door has a gap at the bottom corner. Can we just push it closed harder?

That helps for a day. A gap at the corner means the gasket or the hinge has worn, and pushing harder bends the door further. Have it looked at while it is a gasket or hinge job, before the coil ices and the compressor starts running nonstop.

Is replacing all the gaskets at once worth it?

On a multi-door cabinet where every gasket is the same age, often yes. When one has torn, the others are close behind. We check each door with a paper test and quote the ones that fail, so you replace what needs replacing.

The cabinet seems fine but the power bill keeps rising. Could it be the Traulsen?

It could. Worn gaskets, a dirty condenser and a thermostat set too cold all make the compressor run more than it should. We check the door seal, the coil and the control, and tell you which ones are costing you.

Traulsen in El Sobrante

Traulsen commercial service.

Downtown El Sobrante is the stretch of San Pablo Dam Road between El Portal and Appian Way. A Traulsen reach-in in a kitchen here gets opened constantly during service, and the door is where the wear shows first: gaskets that tear at the corners, hinges that sag, closers that stop pulling the door shut.

Door wear looks small and costs a lot. Every gap lets in warm, damp air, which frosts the coil, runs the compressor longer and raises the power bill. A gasket is one of the cheapest repairs on the unit, and it protects the most expensive part. Our technician for El Sobrante is based in Benicia. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, and you approve a written quote before any work starts. CSLB #1136642.

Common repairs we handle.

Gasket split at the corners. The corners flex the most and split first. A torn gasket pulls in warm air on every cycle, and the cabinet sweats around the door. We fit the correct Traulsen gasket, make sure it seats in its channel all the way around, and check that the door compresses it evenly.
Sagging hinges and weak door closers. A heavy door on worn hinges drops at the latch side and no longer meets the gasket. Weak closers leave it hanging open after a busy grab. We replace hinge parts or closers and adjust the door so it swings shut and seals by itself.
Sweating door frame on a freezer. Freezer cabinets use a small heater in the door frame to keep condensation and ice off the gasket surface. When it fails, the frame sweats, the gasket freezes to it and tears. We test the heater circuit and replace it before the gasket pays the price.
