Continental Refrigerator, established in 1989 and assembling its units in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, builds reach-ins, pass-thrus, roll-ins, sandwich and pizza prep units, worktops, undercounters, griddle stands, fish files, bar and keg coolers, and heated warmers. Its easy electronic control runs coolers, low-temperature cabinets and warmers alike, so one short list of codes covers most of the line.

We work on Continental Designer Line and Base Model reach-ins, pass-thrus, roll-ins and roll-thrus, sandwich and pizza prep units, worktops, undercounters, griddle stands, fish files, milk, bottle, keg and back bar coolers, and warmers. Some units carry an EVCO control and some prep units a Sollatek dial control in place of the easy control. ### Color-coded probes The easy control reads up to three probes with colored leads: black in the return air, red in the evaporator coil, white by the condensing unit. The codes E0, E1 and E2 follow the same order, which makes the first check on a probe error quick. ### An hour before the alarm Continental's high and low alarms wait until the cabinet has been past its alarm point for 60 minutes. When a Continental alarms, it has been out of range for a while, so the food is checked before anything else. ### A test record in the packet Every Continental unit runs at least 12 hours of factory tests, and a temperature recording goes into each cabinet's manual packet. If you still have it, that sheet is a useful baseline when a unit later drifts. ### Warmers on the same control Continental's warmers share the easy control with its cold units, so on a warmer the low alarm is the one that matters: held food is cooling. We treat that as a food safety call, just like a warm cooler. Parts Continental takes parts and service requests through its own website and publishes the control manuals there. Replacement probes are matched by lead color and checked against the resistance chart in the easy control manual. Repair or replace A Continental with a sound cabinet is a good repair candidate when a probe, control, fan motor or door part fails. A compressor failure on an older unit is the point where we set the repair beside a new cabinet and let you decide. Book your Continental Refrigerator visit ## What we are called out for.

Black is the regulation probe in the return air, red sits in the evaporator coil, and white is the ambient probe by the condensing unit. Errors E0, E1 and E2 match them in that order. ### How do I silence the alarm on a Continental? Press and release SET/MUTE once. The manual also shows how to turn the beeper off for future alarms, which we advise against in a busy kitchen. ### How do I start a manual defrost on a Continental? Press the up and down buttons together; the defrost icon lights after a few seconds. The defrost ends on its own on temperature or time. ### Does Continental test its units before shipping? Yes. Continental runs each unit for at least 12 hours of tests and includes a temperature recording in the manual packet. --- **[Read on the site: Continental Restaurant Equipment Repair](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/brands/continental-refrigerator/)** **[Book a visit with CommercialApplianceRepair.center](https://commercialappliancerepair.center/schedule/)**
