Traulsen Freezer Repair in Philadelphia

To repair a Traulsen freezer well, you start with the hardware: Traulsen freezers are commercial reach-in and roll-in units whose timed or demand defrost is built to handle frequent door openings.

Our Traulsen freezer jobs mostly come down to faulty defrost heater or timer, door gasket or heater problems, failed evaporator fan motor, and fouled condenser. The calls we get tend to mention ice on the coil, freezer getting warm, and frost around the door. On a Traulsen freezer, a coil coated in ice more often signals a gasket or defrost fault than a refrigerant leak. Heavy frost around the lid of a chest freezer usually means the gasket or a hinge is no longer sealing.

The defrost systems on Traulsen freezers are designed around heavy door traffic, and when defrost or a gasket fails, ice can pile up on the coil. Most of these faults can be fixed without major parts. Routine maintenance heads off most trouble.

Commercial freezers in hot, crowded kitchens suffer when the condenser is neglected, and a failing freezer can put a whole inventory at risk. We test the thermostat or control, the start components and the defrost circuit, and talk about the compressor only if all of them pass.

Fast frost buildup in a Traulsen freezer most likely comes from worn gaskets or a door that doesn't fully close. The failed evaporator fan motor and repairs like it are quoted in writing before we start.

Leave space around the cabinet, since the condenser and the warm outer walls both need to shed heat. Calls about alarm going off are a good example of why we diagnose Traulsen freezers before ordering anything.
