Our under-counter sits next to the fryer. Is that a problem?

It can be. Hot, greasy air at the condenser intake cuts capacity and clogs the coil. If the layout cannot change, a heat shield or more frequent coil cleaning helps. Our technician checks the intake air temperature and tells you how much the location is costing the unit.

We are fitting out a new kitchen near the waterfront. What should we plan for the Traulsen units?

Give each cabinet the clearance its manual lists around the condenser, a dedicated circuit where the manual calls for one, and a level floor. Plan how someone will reach the condensing unit for cleaning. Those choices save repairs later.

How can we tell whether the thermostat or the refrigeration is the problem?

A box that runs but never gets cold points toward the refrigeration side. A box that shuts off too early and drifts warm points toward the control. A probe thermometer in the product, checked a few times over a shift, tells us a lot before we open anything.

Traulsen in Hercules

Traulsen commercial service.

Hercules is growing at the bay end. The Waterfront District around the historic old town keeps adding buildings, with the first apartments already up at Hercules Bayfront. Old kitchen or new, Traulsen under-counters tend to go where space is tight: beneath a prep line, next to a fryer or a griddle, with a condenser that has to breathe kitchen air.

That air is hot and greasy, and an under-counter's condenser coil loads up with it. Capacity drops, the compressor runs long, and the box drifts warm at the worst time of day. Hercules is served by our technician based in Benicia. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, the quote is written first, and sealed-system work is done under ADRIUM's EPA 608 Universal certification and CSLB #1136642.

Common repairs we handle.

Greasy condenser on an under-counter. Grease and lint mat the fins, and brushing the face leaves the inside packed. We clean the coil through, degrease the fan blade and check the fan motor, then measure head pressure under load. Your staff get a simple routine for keeping it clean.
Start relay and capacitor worn by heat. Heat around the compressor shortens the life of the start components. The compressor clicks, hums and trips without running. We test the relay, the capacitor and the windings, replace the start parts when the compressor tests good, and look at why the space runs so hot.
Drawer slides and gaskets on drawer-style under-counters. Drawers get kicked and slammed during service. Slides bend, the drawer drops, and the gasket stops meeting the frame. We replace worn slides or rollers and the drawer gasket so each drawer closes flat and seals all the way around.
