Our Turbo Air in the office kitchen got loud. Is it about to fail?

A new noise is worth a look before it becomes a warm box. Grinding usually means fan bearings, buzzing means vibration or a loose panel, and rapid clicking means short-cycling. All three are cheaper to fix early than after the compressor has been working against them.

Do you need anything from our property manager before the visit?

Usually a check-in process, parking directions and an elevator booking. Send whatever the building asks of vendors and we plan the visit to fit, so the unit gets diagnosed on the first trip.

Can a Turbo Air under-counter be built into office cabinetry?

Only if it still gets the air it needs. Check where the condenser pulls and exhausts air, which the manual shows, and keep that path open. If one is already built in and running warm, we check the airflow first.

Turbo Air in Emeryville

Turbo Air commercial service.

Emeryville fits company offices, studios, the Powell Street and Bay Street shopping district and mostly multi-unit housing into a small city between Berkeley and Oakland. A Turbo Air under-counter or bottle cooler in an office pantry or a shared kitchen works quietly until it does not, and in an open office the first sign of trouble is often noise.

A worn fan motor grinds, a cabinet that is not level buzzes against the floor, and a compressor that short-cycles clicks on and off all afternoon. Each of those is a real fault, not just an annoyance. We find the source, fix it and make sure the unit holds temperature before we leave.

Our technician for Emeryville calls Benicia home base. Tell us about check-in, parking and elevators when you book. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, the quote is in writing, and ADRIUM holds EPA 608 Universal certification should the refrigerant side need work.

Common repairs we handle.

Grinding or squealing fan motor. Fan motor bearings wear out on a unit that runs all day. The noise starts as a hum, turns into a grind and ends when the motor seizes and the compressor overheats. We replace the motor and blade before that last step.
Buzzing from a cabinet that is not level. An under-counter that rocks on an uneven floor or sits on one short leg vibrates with the compressor, and tubing that touches the cabinet can rattle and wear through. We level the unit, check the tubing for rub points and secure anything loose.
Short-cycling that clicks all afternoon. A compressor that starts and stops over and over usually points at a drifting thermostat, an iced coil or a start part on its way out. We test the control against a calibrated thermometer and check the start relay and defrost before replacing anything.
