How fast can you get to a Walnut Creek restaurant from San Ramon?

Walnut Creek is close to our base, 20 to 30 minutes to the Broadway corridor when we have a slot. The after-hours line, (925) 999-4095, covers Friday-night and weekend bar and restaurant calls. Booked windows get a written arrival time before we leave.

My walk-in keeps icing up the evaporator. Is it low on refrigerant?

Usually not. An iced evaporator is almost always a defrost problem. We check the defrost timer for drift and test the termination thermostat, then run a full defrost cycle to confirm the coil clears. We document the changes inside the panel.

Do you set up maintenance contracts for downtown restaurants?

Yes. Quarterly visits with documented coil and ice cleaning, glycol testing on draft systems, condensate clearing, and gasket inspection. For a high-volume downtown kitchen that adds service life to the Atosa units and keeps the Perlick draft at setpoint.

Commercial Refrigeration Repair in Walnut Creek

Commercial Refrigeration Repair for Walnut Creek kitchens.

Walnut Creek's commercial refrigeration is the Broadway corridor and the downtown restaurant district. The volume here runs Hoshizaki KM-series cubers, Manitowoc Indigo NXT heads for cocktail programs, Atosa R290 prep tables, and Perlick back-bar systems behind the busier bars. The downtown kitchens turn hard on weekend service, so the common calls are a back-bar fridge icing after the dinner rush and a walk-in evaporator that won't stop frosting up.

A walk-in that ices the evaporator is usually a defrost problem, not a refrigerant problem. I check the defrost-cycle timer for drift and test the defrost termination thermostat, then run the unit through a full defrost to confirm the hot-gas or electric defrost actually clears the coil. The icing back-bar fridges follow the bar pattern: a door gasket stretched from being propped open during service, evap ices the moment the rush ends, gasket swap is quick and I carry the common Perlick gaskets. Atosa prep tables and the R290 sealed-system work run in-house with full recovery and weigh-in.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Walk-in evaporator icing over. Defrost-cycle timer drift or failed defrost termination thermostat. Adjust the cycle, verify hot-gas or electric defrost clears the coil over a full cycle, document inside the panel.
Perlick back-bar fridge icing after rush. Bartenders prop the door through service and the gasket gives out, so the evap ices when the room cools off. Swap the gasket, confirm full-sweep closure, common Perlick gaskets on the truck.
Hoshizaki cuber dropping production on weekends. Weekend volume loads the condenser with grease and the evaporator scales, so output falls when the kitchen needs it most. Deep-clean the condenser, descale, and run a full harvest cycle to confirm it recovers.
Atosa prep table sweating or pooling water. Blocked condensate drain backs water into the well and onto the floor. Snake and flush the drain, check the pan slope, add a screen if the layout takes one, and note when it should be cleared again.
