The short answer
True Repair in Port Chester typically runs $250–$900 — the $95 diagnostic is credited toward the repair. Most jobs finish same-day in one visit with genuine OEM parts, backed by a 90-Day Parts & Labor Warranty. Call (914) 537-0917.
True is the refrigeration brand you'll find behind more restaurant lines than any other — reach-in coolers and freezers, refrigerated sandwich and salad prep tables, undercounters, back-bar coolers and glass-door merchandisers. That ubiquity is exactly why fast, knowledgeable service matters: when a True reach-in drifts above 41°F, every hour is spoiled inventory and a food-safety clock ticking. Our technicians work on True units every day, so we know the platform cold — the forced-air evaporator design, the self-contained and remote condensing options, the electronic and mechanical control variants, and the way a clogged condenser or a tired fan motor shows up as "not cooling." We diagnose the actual failing component instead of guess-and-swap, carry the common True gaskets, fan motors, relays and controllers, and verify holding temperature before we leave so your unit is back in NSF-compliant range for the next inspection.
A down True reach-in or prep table is lost revenue and a health-code exposure, not a minor inconvenience — a warm salad rail can shut a line mid-service. Because commercial kitchens run hot, greasy and around the clock, True condensers foul faster than any residential coil, which is the single most common cause of a "warm box." We prioritize refrigeration failures as same-day or 24/7 emergencies, verify that the unit recovers to and holds below 41°F, and flag the airflow, gasket and drain issues that cause repeat callbacks so your kitchen keeps running and keeps passing inspection.

Maintenance Tips
- Clean condenser coils at least monthly — weekly near fryers or flour stations
- Check and replace door gaskets before they tear; a sweating cabinet is a leaking seal
- Keep evaporator airflow clear — don't block interior fan louvers with product
- Log box temperatures daily and act on any drift above 41°F immediately
- Clear condensate drains so pans don't overflow and lines don't freeze
- Leave clearance around self-contained units so the condenser can breathe

Answers
Frequently asked questions
My True reach-in is running warm but the compressor is running — what's wrong?
A running compressor with a warm box usually points to a dirty condenser coil restricting heat rejection, a failed condenser or evaporator fan motor, low refrigerant charge from a small leak, or an iced-up evaporator from a defrost fault. We measure box and coil temperatures, check superheat/subcooling and fan operation, and correct the actual cause — then confirm the cabinet pulls back below 41°F before leaving.
How often should the condenser on a True unit be cleaned?
In a working kitchen, condenser coils should be cleaned at least monthly — more in a fryer-heavy or flour-heavy environment. Grease and dust blanket the coil, spike head pressure, and are the number-one cause of warm boxes and premature compressor failure. We clean the condenser on every refrigeration call and can set up a preventive schedule.
Why is my True prep table cold underneath but warm at the rail?
The pan rail on a prep table relies on cold air spilling up from the base section and on pans being seated correctly. A warm rail is usually caused by blocked airflow, an iced or dirty evaporator, pans left out of the wells, or an ambient kitchen that's simply too hot at the line. We restore proper airflow and coil performance so the rail holds product at a safe temperature.
Is it worth repairing an older True reach-in or should I replace it?
True cabinets are built to be serviced for many years, and most faults — fan motors, relays, gaskets, controllers, even a compressor — are far cheaper to repair than a new unit plus disposal and downtime. We give you an honest repair-versus-replace read on the spot, factoring the age of the sealed system and the cost of the specific fix.
Can you get my True unit back in NSF temperature range same day?
In most cases yes — we stock the common True fan motors, relays, gaskets, thermostats and controllers, so a typical warm-box or fan failure is a single-visit repair. Sealed-system work that requires a leak search and recharge may take longer, and we'll give you a clear timeline and a way to protect inventory in the meantime.

“Outstanding True repair service! The technician was very knowledgeable about True appliances and fixed our reach-in refrigerators quickly. Highly recommended!”
“Our True reach-in freezer kept icing up and losing temp. Two other guys just chipped the ice out and left. These techs actually found the defrost termination fault and a bad door gasket, fixed both, and it's been perfect since. That's the real repair.”
“Our undercounter fridge died Saturday afternoon with a full case load. I didn't expect anyone to answer, but they did, and a tech was out within a couple hours. Cleaned the condenser, replaced the fan motor, back in temp. The after-hours response is the real deal.”
“I thought our reach-in needed a whole new compressor. The tech found it was just a fouled condenser and a relay, cleaned it, replaced the part for a fraction of what I feared, and it's been running great. That kind of honesty earns loyalty.”
