Condensers accumulate dirt and require cleaning every 30 days. Dirty condensers result in compressor failure, product loss, and lost
sales... which are not covered by warranty.
If you keep the Condenser clean you will minimize your service expense and lower your electrical costs. The Condenser requires scheduled cleaning every thirty days or as needed.
Air is pulled through the Condenser continuously, along with dust, lint, grease, etc.
A dirty Condenser can result in NON-WARRANTEED part & Compressor Failures, Product Loss, and Lost Sales.
Proper cleaning involves removing dust from the Condenser. By using a soft brush, or vacuuming the Condenser with a shop vac, or using CO2, nitrogen, or pressurized air.
If you cannot remove the dirt adequately, please call your refrigeration service company.
If you have any questions, please call TRUE Manufacturing at 636-240-2400 or 800-325-6152 and ask for the Service Department. Service Department Availability Monday-Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. CST.

TRUE’s obligation under this warranty is limited to a period of one (1) year from the date of original installation or 15 months after shipment date from TRUE, whichever occurs first. Any part covered under this warranty that are determined by TRUE to have been defective within one (1) year of original installation or fifteen (15) months after shipment date from manufacturer, whichever occurs first, is limited to the repair or replacement, including labor charges, of defective parts or assemblies. The labor warranty shall include standard straight time labor charges only and reasonable travel time, as determined by TRUE.
ADDITIONAL FOUR YEAR COMPRESSOR WARRANTY In addition to the one (1) year warranty stated above, TRUE warrants its hermetically and semi-hermetically sealed compressor to be free from defects in both material and workmanship under normal and proper use and maintenance service for a period of four (4) additional years from the date of original installation but not to exceed five (5) years and three (3) months after shipment from the manufacturer. Compressors determined by TRUE to have been defective within this extended time period will, at TRUE’s option, be either repaired or replaced with a compressor or compressor parts of similar design and capacity. The four (4) year extended compressor warranty applies only to hermetically and semi-hermetically sealed parts of the compressor and does not apply to any other parts or components, including, but not limited to, cabinet, paint finish, temperature control, refrigerant, metering device, driers, motor starting equipment, fan assembly or any other electrical component, etcetera.
404A/134A COMPRESSOR WARRANTYThe four year compressor warranty detailed above will be voided if the following procedure is not carefully adhered to: 1. This system contains R404A or R134A refrigerant and polyol ester lubricant. The polyol ester lubricant has rapid moisture absorbing qualities. If long exposure to the ambient conditions occur, the lubricant must be removed and replaced with new. For oil amounts and specifications please call TRUE technical service department (800-325-6152). Failure to comply with recommended lubricant specification will void the compressor warranty. 2. Drier replacement is very important and must be changed when a system is opened for servicing. A drier using XH-7 desiccant or an exact replacement solid core drier must be used. The new drier must also be the same capacity as the drier being replaced. 3. Micron level vacuums must be achieved to insure low moisture levels in the system. 500 microns or lower must be obtained.
