My Traulsen reach-in won't hold temp during the rush. What's wrong?

Often a thermostat that's drifted, a condenser coil caked from a busy back-of-house, or a worn gasket. We diagnose the real cause before quoting rather than swapping parts on a guess, and you get the price in writing first.

Are you a Traulsen dealer?

No, we run an independent shop and don't claim factory authorization on Traulsen. We're a crew that knows these cabinets and stocks the common failure parts, with an honest quote and no brand games.

Can you prioritize a Walnut Creek outage?

Yes. A failed Traulsen in a downtown kitchen is an emergency. Tell us you're down when you call. We run 7 AM to 7 PM seven days from San Ramon, a short run up 680, and credit the $99 diagnostic toward the repair.

Traulsen in Walnut Creek

Traulsen refrigeration in Walnut Creek.

Walnut Creek runs the most restaurant traffic in the Diablo Valley, and that volume lands hard on the equipment. Downtown and the Broadway Plaza side are wall-to-wall full-service kitchens, sushi counters, and steakhouse bars, with grocery anchors like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's behind them. A lot of those kitchens run Traulsen reach-ins, prep tables, and back-line cabinets working through the lunch and dinner rush. When one quits, food's on the clock.

Traulsen is built for that abuse and built so a tech can take it apart and fix it, so repair usually beats buying new. The usual failures here are predictable: a thermostat drifted out of calibration, a door gasket torn from a thousand pulls a shift, a condenser coil caked from a busy back-of-house, and on older units a sealed-system leak. We stock the truck so most calls involve parts we usually stock.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Thermostat out of calibration. The reach-in drifts warm or won't hold setpoint once the thermostat fails or drifts. We test it, recalibrate or replace, and confirm the box recovers. We provide a written repair estimate after the on-site diagnosis and before any work starts.
Door gasket torn from heavy use. On a downtown line a gasket gets torn from a thousand pulls a shift, and a leaking seal runs the compressor nonstop. It's the cheapest fix on the cabinet and it keeps the compressor from running itself into the ground. We stock common Traulsen profiles.
Ice machine scale on EBMUD water. Central Contra Costa water off the EBMUD system runs moderately hard, and scale builds on the evaporator plates of the cubers near the Traulsen line, slowing harvest and thinning cubes. We descale, replace water-circuit parts off the truck, and get the cube count back.
