Turbo Air Repair for Owners, Renters and Landlords
Turbo Air is a common choice when a kitchen needs a lot of cold storage without the cost of the heaviest commercial brands. We're independent of Turbo Air, with no service contract, so while a unit is still under the maker's warranty, the claim belongs with Turbo Air or the dealer who sold it. Once coverage has ended, we find the fault at the unit, show you what broke and get your approval on the price before we touch it.
How a Repair Visit Works
Tell Us What's Wrong
Name the make, add the model number if it is handy, and describe the symptom. A picture of the label inside the door lets us check parts.
Diagnosis at Your Home
The technician tests the appliance along with its power, water, drain, gas or vent connections until the fault is confirmed.
A Price Before Work
We name the failed part and give you the cost of fixing it. Work starts only after you agree.
Repair and Check
The part is installed and the appliance is run through a cycle so you can watch it working.

Turbo Air Products We Service
A Long Beach company with a Korean refrigeration background
Turbo Air was founded in 1997 by Brian S. Kim, who had built a commercial refrigerator plant in South Korea before moving to California. The group is headquartered in Long Beach and runs factories in the United States, Korea, China and Vietnam.
Its catalog runs from M3 and PRO series reach-ins to undercounter and worktop units, the refrigerated prep stations that sandwich and pizza shops build their line around, chef bases under griddles, and glass-front merchandisers. Around Northern Virginia it's a regular sight in carryout pizza places, delis, coffee bars, food halls, small restaurants and corner markets.
The self-cleaning condenser
Most Turbo Air cabinets carry the company's patented self-cleaning condenser: a motor-driven brush that periodically sweeps a mesh screen mounted ahead of the coil, so lint and dust are knocked loose before they mat the fins.
Dry lint is what that brush was designed for. Airborne fryer oil and flour behave differently; they smear into a paste the bristles just push around. So on a hot line, the screen and the coil behind it still load up, and a warm Turbo Air still gets its condenser looked at before anything else. The brush drive is also a moving part, and it can stall.
Keeping service moving
In a restaurant, the clock matters more than anything. Early in the visit we tell you whether the food can ride out the repair inside the box, and roughly when the part will land, so you can decide what goes to another cooler.
Access matters too. Units wedged into narrow line kitchens, basement prep rooms and small storefront spaces are common, and some repairs need the unit pulled away from the wall. We plan that before starting.
Turbo Air products we see
- Refrigerators: Reach-ins, undercounters, worktops, prep stations and glass merchandisers. The usual story: a greasy condenser screen, a fan that quit, a controller or probe that reads wrong, a split gasket, or a pan rail running warm.
- Freezers: Reach-in, undercounter and worktop freezers. Iced-over coils, defrost heaters and sensors, fan motors, and door gaskets or frame heaters account for nearly every call.
Parts for Turbo Air
Turbo Air backs its equipment with a parts department of its own, and commercial refrigeration supply houses carry the common pieces. Door gaskets, evaporator fans, temperature probes and controllers can generally be sourced from the model number; a few need to ship in. We always read the serial plate too, since Turbo Air revises components from one build run to the next, and you get the expected arrival before you say yes.
Common Turbo Air Questions
Brief answers to what customers most often ask us. Don't see yours? Ask when you call, or add it to the notes when you book online.
Still have a question?
Get in touch with the brand, the symptom and, if you can find it, the model number. Some things we can answer right away; others need a technician in front of the machine.
No. It handles dry dust well, but grease and flour stick to the filter and coil. Kitchens with fryers or ovens nearby still need periodic cleaning.
Usually. Fans, controllers, probes, gaskets and defrost parts cost far less than a new unit. A dead compressor on an older cabinet is where replacement starts to make sense.
Sometimes. Swapping a fan motor or controller rarely needs the shelves cleared. Melting out an iced coil or opening the refrigerant circuit does, and you'll know which before we start.
