Traulsen in Lafayette
Traulsen commercial service.
Lafayette's restaurant row along Mt. Diablo Boulevard runs a caliber of kitchen that justifies serious equipment, and Traulsen reach-ins are part of that picture. The town also has its share of estate homes in the hills toward Happy Valley where commercial-grade cabinets anchor big prep kitchens. Both kinds of Traulsen owner call us for the same failures, and we reach Lafayette from San Ramon in about twenty minutes up 680 and through the junction at 24.
What I like about working on Traulsens is that the machine tells you where to look. Newer cabinets log fault codes on the INTELA-TRAUL controller, and the code history read against the kitchen's schedule separates equipment failures from operational ones in minutes. Older units diagnose honestly with gauges and a meter because the build quality means failures are mechanical and findable, not mysterious. Either way you get a written quote naming the actual problem.
Commercial refrigeration runs through our Bay Area Refrigeration Service division. EPA Section 608 Universal certified, CSLB #1136642, $75 diagnostic waived with repair, seven days a week.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Evaporator icing from door and defrost problems. A Lafayette dinner house that props the reach-in during Friday prep loads the coil with humidity, and if the defrost cycle has a weak heater or a failing termination sensor the ice never clears. Airflow drops and the box creeps warm through service. We melt out the coil, test the defrost circuit electrically, replace the failed part, and confirm the cabinet clears frost on its own.
- Compressor overload trips on hot afternoons. Cabinets near the cook line with fouled condensers run fine all morning and trip on overload during the afternoon heat, which reads as a ghost. We clean and degrease the top-mounted coil, check the condenser fan and its capacitor, and verify pressures under real load so the cabinet stops picking the worst hour of the day to quit.
- Hinge cartridge wear and door sag. Traulsen self-closing hinge cartridges are a wear item, and a sagging door that catches on the gasket is the early sign. Left alone it costs you a gasket, then coil icing, then run-time money. We rebuild the cartridges, square the door, and fit a fresh gasket in one visit.

FAQ
Traulsen in Lafayette questions, answered.
-
How fast can you get to Lafayette from San Ramon?
About 20 minutes up 680 to the 24 junction. Lafayette routes with Orinda, Walnut Creek, and Alamo for us, so same-day service is usually available and a warm cabinet full of weekend prep gets bumped up the list. -
Do you service both the restaurant and the home Traulsen units in town?
Yes. The restaurant cabinets on Mt. Diablo Boulevard and the commercial-grade units in Happy Valley home kitchens are the same machines to us, and our refrigeration division services both with the same certifications and paperwork. -
What does diagnosis cost and what is guaranteed?
$75 for the diagnostic, waived when you approve the written quote. Completed repairs carry a one-year warranty.
