Is it worth repairing an older Traulsen reach-in?

Almost always, yes. Traulsen builds these so a tech can take them apart and fix them, and the failures we see come from age and miles, not bad design. Keep one tuned and it'll run for years. We give you a straight written quote so you can weigh the repair against a new cabinet.

Do you handle Traulsen sealed-system leaks?

Yes, in-house. Refrigerant leaks tend to surface past the 15-to-20-year mark on these cabinets from years of vibration. We hold EPA #1279674151528 and do recovery, evacuation, and a weigh-in on the charge. We provide a written repair estimate after the on-site diagnosis and before any work starts.

How fast can you get to Alamo?

We're up 680 from San Ramon, a short run, and we put commercial outages first. We're open 7 AM to 7 PM seven days, same number after hours. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair.

Traulsen in Alamo

Traulsen refrigeration in Alamo.

Alamo doesn't run a big restaurant row, but the plaza kitchens off Danville Boulevard and the deli inside Alamo Plaza lean on a Traulsen reach-in or prep table to hold a full day of product. When one drifts warm, there's prep on the line and a health code that doesn't care how small the room is. We come up 680 from San Ramon, so it's a short run, and we stock the cabinet's common failure parts on the truck.

The Traulsens we see here are well-kept and mid-volume, which is exactly the kind of cabinet worth repairing rather than replacing. The usual calls are a thermostat that's drifted out of calibration so the box won't hold setpoint, a door gasket torn at the hinge, or a condenser fan motor seized from dust. We diagnose the actual cause and put the price in writing before we turn a wrench.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Thermostat won't hold setpoint. The call we get most on Traulsen. The cabinet drifts warm or stops holding its set temp once the thermostat goes out of calibration or quits. We test it, recalibrate or swap it, and confirm the box pulls back down before we leave. We provide a written repair estimate after the on-site diagnosis and before any work starts.
Torn door gasket. A hardened or torn gasket lets warm plaza-kitchen air leak past the seal, so the compressor never gets a break and the power bill climbs. It's one of the cheapest fixes on the whole cabinet and it saves the compressor from running itself into the ground. We carry common Traulsen gaskets on the truck.
Undercounter ice machine scaling up. Most Alamo bars run an undercounter cube head behind the Traulsen line. The water here is moderately hard, so scale builds on the evaporator plate, harvest slows, and cube weight drops. We descale, check the filter, and tell you straight whether it's scale or a real failure.
