Crathco in Menlo Park

Crathco refrigeration in Menlo Park.

Crathco cold beverage dispensers, the frozen and cold drink machines behind cafe counters and in the break rooms on the tech campuses off Sand Hill Road, run a lot more hours than people expect for a self-serve unit. Many of the newer dispensers run R290 (propane) refrigerant, efficient but flammable, and that's a job for someone trained to handle it.

We service Crathco as an independent shop, HC (R290) trained for the sealed-system work these units need. No manufacturer tie, just an accurate diagnosis.

$99 diagnostic, credited toward the repair. We come up from San Ramon and stock common Crathco parts, augers, seals, compressors, for repairs involving parts we usually stock.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

  • R290 compressor failure. A Crathco dispenser that's stopped cooling is often a compressor issue on the R290 system, and we've seen manufacturer bad-batch compressors fail early on these units. We check for that before assuming it's a routine wear failure.
  • Auger motor or gearbox wear. The auger that keeps a frozen drink dispenser from freezing solid takes steady mechanical wear, and a struggling motor is a common call. We test the motor and gearbox together since one often takes the other out.
  • Product buildup on seals and valves. Sugary drink product builds up on seals and dispensing valves over time, and a dispenser that's leaking or dispensing slow is usually a cleaning and seal-replacement job rather than a compressor problem. We check this first since it's the cheaper fix.
