Questions and Answers

    What to do if there is refrigeration failure in Traulsen RBC200?
    • E
      Evelyn HamiltonAug 14, 2025
      If the interior temperature of your Traulsen Refrigerator exceeds 100° F, it could indicate a refrigeration failure. First, try removing power from the unit by unplugging it and plugging it back in, or by resetting the circuit breaker. If that doesn't work, ensure that the batch programming was complete and correct; if not, try programming the batch again. Check if you have loaded too much product, and if so, reduce the load to stay within the unit's capacity. A dirty condenser coil can also cause this, so clean it. If the issue persists even after these steps, it may indicate a refrigeration system failure, and you should call for service.

    Why cannot I program a new batch on Traulsen RBC200 Refrigerator?
    • J
      Justin EspinozaAug 17, 2025
      If you cannot program a new batch on your Traulsen Refrigerator, it might be because the unit is in a defrost cycle, during which batch programming is not possible. If you are in a BY TEMP chill cycle, you can add a new batch using the ADD/REMOVE option.

    Why does batch require too much time to chill product down to 40° F in Traulsen Refrigerator?
    • H
      handersonAug 21, 2025
      If your Traulsen Refrigerator is taking too long to chill the product down to 40° F, consider these factors: * Ensure that the door is closed properly. * Reduce the amount of product loaded, making sure not to exceed the unit's capacity. * If using pans, ensure the product depth does not exceed 2 inches. * Confirm that pans are covered correctly with a lid, plastic wrap, or foil, ensuring it's in direct contact with the product. * If the product has high density, allow extra chilling time. * Clean a dirty condenser coil. * Allow the evaporator coil to defrost by pressing the DEFROST button to initiate a manual defrost.

    What to do if food probe failure alarm occurs in Traulsen RBC200?
    • P
      Patricia VazquezAug 31, 2025
      If the food probe fails during a chill cycle in your Traulsen Refrigerator, the printer will notify you that it is converting to chilling BY TIME. When starting a BY TEMP cycle, if a food probe is not available, check the probe plug connection. If the food probe was placed in excessively hot product, cool the probe and test again. If food probe fails and operates correctly later, program a BY TEMP batch using the suspect probe and wiggle the food probe wire. If a second Food Probe Failure occurs the food probe is defective and should be replaced. If the food probe is damaged or defective, replace it with a new one.
