Our Turbo Air bottle cooler in the garage stops cooling on hot afternoons. Why?

Most likely the compressor is tripping on its overload. Hot garage air, a dusty coil and aging start parts all push it there. Clear the grille and give the unit space. If it still quits by afternoon, we test the start parts, the fan and the charge.

Would it help to move the cooler into the house for the summer?

It helps the unit, and a cooler room lowers its run time. But if it quits even on a mild morning, there is a fault to fix wherever it stands. We test it where it is and tell you which problem you have.

Should we unplug our Turbo Air over the winter?

If you do, empty it, clean it and prop the door open so it does not grow mold. Before summer, plug it in a day early, check that it pulls down to temperature and clean the coil. A dirty coil in the first hot week is hard on start parts.

Turbo Air in Clayton

Turbo Air commercial service.

Clayton sits at the foot of Mount Diablo, and its summers are hot and dry. A Turbo Air bottle cooler or merchandiser set up in a garage or on a back patio for summer entertaining feels every degree of it. The condenser rejects heat into the air around it, so on a hot afternoon it works hardest just when the doors open most.

Heat wears the start side of the compressor first. A start relay or capacitor that weakens in the heat leaves the compressor humming, tripping and trying again, and the bottles warm between attempts. We test the relay, capacitor and overload, clean the coil and measure the compressor before anyone talks about replacing it.

Our technician for Clayton is dispatched from Benicia. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, you get a written quote before any work, and if the sealed system needs attention, ADRIUM holds EPA 608 Universal certification.

Common repairs we handle.

Start relay and capacitor failing in summer heat. Start parts run hot in a hot garage and fail sooner. The first sign is a click and a hum with no cooling. We test both parts and the overload, check the compressor windings and replace the start parts when the compressor itself is sound.
Glass door gasket and hinge wear from heavy use. At a party the doors open constantly, and the gasket and hinge take it. A door that stops short or a gasket that has flattened lets hot garage air straight in. We replace the gasket and adjust the door so it closes on its own.
Condenser fan running all summer until it quits. In a hot garage the condenser fan barely rests from June to September. Worn bearings slow it, and a slow fan lets head pressure climb. We replace the motor and blade and clean the coil so the new fan has a clear path.
