Traulsen Commercial Repair — South Florida
Reach-in refrigerators and freezers, blast chillers and dealer-network premium platforms — fine-dining, hospitals, hotels, R-series.
About Traulsen
Traulsen is the premium tier of commercial reach-in refrigeration and the dominant brand in serious back-of-house kitchens — fine-dining lines, banquet prep, hospital production kitchens and the R-Series dealer-network specs that come standard on every consultant-designed kitchen plan. The cabinets are heavier than the volume tier, the controls are tighter, and the failure profile is shifted: less coil-grease, more electronics and door-mechanism work.

Traulsen equipment we service
Model series and platforms we cover across South Florida commercial accounts.
Single-section R-series reach-in cooler — fine-dining back-prep, country-club pantry. Top-mount condenser, OEM hinge cartridges, INTELA-TRAUL controller.
Two-section R-series reach-in cooler — the consultant-spec workhorse on banquet kitchen plans. Door cartridge wear, gasket pull and condenser airflow lead the service log.
Three-section R-series reach-in cooler — banquet platforms, high-volume restaurant prep. Dual evaporator, single top-mount condenser.
Matching R-series freezer variants in one, two and three-section formats. Defrost termination thermostat and evaporator fan motor are the standard freezer-side repairs.
R-Series roll-in refrigerators for sheet-pan rack-in production — bakery, banquet prep. Floor channel and door bumper wear.
R-Series roll-in freezers for frozen production lines — defrost termination and door bushing service.
Pass-thru R-Series reach-ins — kitchen-to-wait-staff handoffs in fine-dining and resort BOH. Double-sided door alignment and gasket sealing on every PM.
G-series single-section reach-ins for compact kitchens — pantry stations, bar back, espresso prep. Hinge cartridge and gasket are the recurring repairs.
G-series two-section reach-in coolers and freezers — production kitchens and country-club back-prep. INTELA-TRAUL controller and probe drift are the typical electronics calls.
G-series three-section reach-ins — banquet platforms and large casual restaurants. Same mechanical platform, more doors, more hinge service.
Glass-door variants of the G-series platform — fine-dining display and country-club beverage. Anti-sweat heater wire and frame condensate are the standard repairs.
50 lb capacity undercounter blast chiller — fine-dining cold lines, pastry stations. Core-probe socket corrosion and chill-cycle termination service.
100 lb capacity reach-in blast chiller — banquet prep, country clubs, hospital cooking. HACCP-compliant chill cycles documented on the work order.
200 lb capacity roll-in blast chiller — hospital production kitchens and large banquet platforms. RT variant is the retrofit replacement. Heavy compressor and condenser PM.
400 and 700 lb capacity production blast chillers — central commissary kitchens and food-safety-regulated production. Three-phase compressor service, refrigerant charge verification.
Traulsen sandwich prep tables — high-end pizzerias and resort sandwich stations. Pan-rail temperature, evaporator fan and lid hinge are the standard repairs.
Traulsen undercounter refrigerators — bar back, fine-dining service stations, pastry prep. Compact top-mount or front-breathing condenser; coil cleaning lead.
Compact dealer-network cabinets for tight kitchens — bar back, espresso back-prep, satellite kitchens. Drain pan, gasket and door switch are the recurring fixes.
Spec-line premium R-series cabinets with custom interior racking and HACCP probe ports — kitchen-consultant builds in resort hotels and hospital systems.
Common Traulsen failure modes we repair
What our technicians see on Traulsen equipment in South Florida — documented from real service tickets, not a brochure.
R-series doors use heavy cartridges that wear over a decade of hard kitchen use. Door drops, gasket no longer seals, box runs warm and the compressor cycles long. Replace cartridges, re-shim the door, verify gasket pull.
Newer Traulsen units use the INTELA-TRAUL controller. Symptom is locked-out display, alarm-not-clearing, sensor-not-reading errors. Verify probe resistance, refresh firmware, replace controller if needed.
Top-mount Traulsen units have multiple evaporator fan motors that fail one at a time. The cabinet runs warm on one shelf while another reads to spec. We isolate by airflow test and swap.
Freezer ices up because the defrost termination thermostat fails to close, or fails to open. Walk the cycle manually, verify the thermostat, replace.
Top-mount condenser dust-loads even in the cleanest kitchens. Coil clean, fan service, then verify amp draw + discharge pressure at spec.
RBC blast chillers rely on a core probe for HACCP-compliant chill cycles. Probe socket corrodes from steam ingress, cycle reads incorrectly, food-safety log is wrong. Replace socket and probe, document with the customer.
Reach-in doors with anti-sweat heaters lose the heater wire in Florida humidity. Condensate runs down the frame. Wire and gasket are stocked.
