I recently picked up a True T-72F for my residential garage relatively inexpensive. After getting it home, I noticed it wasn't working properly.. seller told me as much.
Searched the True Manufacturing Company website and found Bennie's Commercial Refrigeration among other companies that were listed. Emailed his company and a few others. Bennie was the only one willing to come out to a residential location with a commercial freezer.
Bennie called me directly and discussed a few details before scheduling a day for him to come out and diagnose the freezer onsite (my residential garage). He came out, ensured proper COVID-19 precautions were taken and he got to work inspecting the entire unit for any issues. He found approximately $1025 worth of repairs (majority in parts). He explained what he found and what could be done to minimize the cost of the commercial freezer if I didnt want to pay for everything in one repair. I went ahead and approved the estimate (he sent me the written estimate via email a few hours after he left my residence) and paid the invoice per his terms. A few parts had to be special ordered in and we setup a return visit for approximately two weeks later (conflicting work schedule).
He returned today (Monday, June 15, 2020) at 9:47 AM and replaced everything that was ordered in and previously discussed. After 3 & 1/2 hours of replacing all of the worn out parts, testing and checking the freezer, he found out that the fan defrost termination and delay switch was preventing the freezer fans (the new fan motors were installed) from spinning up at all. A quick trip to the parts store and a new $40 dollar switch installed made the freezer boot up and cycle properly for the first time. Bennie ended up staying until 3:10 PM to ensure that everything was working properly and explaining what the next steps are.
Bennie was through with the repairs, reassembly, testing, validating and explaining what issues cropped up. I couldn't have asked for a more honest tech. I will be calling him in the future for maintenance calls and any additional repairs that may come up and recommend him in the future to anyone who needs commercial refrigeration or freezer repairs or maintenance either at their business or residences.
To anyone who reads this, if you are unsure about anything, just call Bennie up, describe the issue and he will give the answers that he can. If he has never seen your equipment first, then his answers will be limited until he sees exactly what is going on. read more
