Why your True refrigerated prep table is not cooling
When a True refrigerated prep table is not cooling, here's what you'll usually notice: unit runs but temperature stays warm — usually a compressor, condenser, or refrigerant issue. On this platform it's most often faulty temperature control board. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- Worn door gaskets bleeding cold air
- A stuck or failed damper control
- Failed compressor or start relay
Known True refrigerated prep table weak points
- condenser fan motor failure and dirty condenser coils causing high box temperatures
- door gasket wear and self-closing hinge cartridge failures on reach-ins
- evaporator coil icing and clogged/frozen condensate drain lines
- electronic temperature controller faults on newer Spec Series units
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the easy cause: listen for the compressor running at all, and make sure nothing is blocking airflow around the back or bottom vents. Also, confirm the refrigerated prep table has power, the thermostat is actually set cold, and the condenser coils or vents aren't blocked by dust or stored items. When that isn't the fix, the cause is almost always a failed compressor or a refrigerant leak in the sealed system, and handling refrigerant legally requires an experienced technician — which is where DIY stops.
