Traulsen in Castro Valley
Traulsen refrigeration in Castro Valley.
Castro Valley is the quieter end of the East Bay, and most of the commercial cold sits along Castro Valley Boulevard or in the strip centers near BART. The family diners, the taquerias and pho spots, the couple of bars, and the neighborhood markets run Traulsen reach-ins and prep tables that have to hold all day. Smaller market than Hayward or Oakland, but a Traulsen that won't pull temp is the same emergency anywhere.
We like getting a Traulsen call. It's built for a working kitchen and built so a tech can fix it, so repairing one almost always beats buying new. The Castro Valley calls track the equipment: a thermostat drifted out of calibration, a door gasket torn so the box can't seal, a condenser packed with grease, or a sealed-system leak on an older cabinet. We carry start components, fan motors, thermostats, and gaskets on the truck, so a lot of these close in one visit.
Common repairs we do
What we close on the truck.
- Thermostat won't hold temp. The reach-in drifts warm or stops holding setpoint once the thermostat goes out of calibration. We test, recalibrate or swap it, and confirm the box recovers before we leave. Labor from about $250 plus the part.
- Door gasket worn out. On a busy diner line a gasket tears and hardens, and a leaking seal runs the compressor nonstop and drives up the power bill. It's one of the cheapest fixes on the cabinet and it protects the compressor. We stock common profiles.
- Undercounter ice scaling up. The markets and bars run undercounter cubers near the Traulsen line, and Castro Valley water is moderately hard, so scale builds on the plate and harvest slows. We descale, swap the filter, and replace fouled water valves and float switches off the truck.

FAQ
Traulsen in Castro Valley questions, answered.
-
Is a Traulsen worth fixing or should I replace it?
Usually worth fixing. These cabinets are built to be repaired, and the failures come from age, not bad construction. We give you a straight written quote so you can compare the repair to a new unit before deciding. -
Do you handle Traulsen refrigerant work?
Yes, in-house. Leaks tend to show up past 15 to 20 years. We hold EPA #1279674151528 and do recovery, evacuation, and weigh-in. A full sealed-system rebuild can run up to $4,000 and carries a 2-year warranty. -
Can you come same day?
Castro Valley sits on the same route as Hayward, so same-day on a real outage is usually doable. We dispatch from San Ramon, 7 AM to 7 PM seven days. The $75 diagnostic is waived when you have us do the repair.
