True Residential brings the build quality of commercial refrigeration into the home, with heavy stainless construction, bold color options, and a look that turns a refrigerator or wine cabinet into a design centerpiece. In Evergreen it shows up in statement kitchens, bar areas and wine rooms where the owner wanted something with real presence and serious cooling capability. True refrigeration is engineered to be serviced and to last, which means most faults are repairable and most units are well worth keeping.
True refrigeration is diagnosed by symptom rather than a numeric code list. A temperature alarm tells you something is off, but finding the cause means testing the sealed system, fans, sensors and seals directly. We diagnose to the root, give a written estimate, and repair with genuine OEM parts under our warranty.

- Undercounter refrigeration: refrigerators, freezers and beverage centers.

Error and Fault Codes
True Residential refrigeration is diagnosed by symptom. The control can show a temperature alarm, but there is no long published numeric fault list, so we test the cooling and control systems directly:
| Symptom | Likely Cause | What the Fix Involves |
|---|---|---|
| Unit warming, running | Fan, defrost or sealed-system fault | Test fans, defrost and refrigeration |
| Wine zone drifting | Sensor or seal fault | Verify the sensor, replace the gasket |
| Loud hum or rattle | Worn fan bearing | Replace the fan motor |
| Water pooling | Blocked defrost drain | Clear the drain |
| Temperature alarm | Sensor, door or control fault | Confirm the sensor and seal |
Common Problems We Fix
- Refrigeration that warms while still running
- Wine cabinet zones that will not hold temperature
- Condenser and evaporator fan noise
- Frost buildup from a defrost fault
- Water pooling from a blocked drain
- Door seals that have hardened and leak warm air
- Sensor and control faults
- Dust-packed condensers reducing cooling at altitude
Altitude Note
Thin air makes heat rejection harder, so keeping the True condenser clean is one of the best things a Evergreen owner can do. A clogged condenser is a common cause of a unit that runs constantly and still drifts warm.
True Unit Not Cooling Right?
