What ELE LOS
actually means.
On R & A Series cabinets and on TE, TU and TS units, the control remembers a power interruption and flashes ELE LOS in turn with the cabinet temperature. Traulsen also shows it on first start-up, when the unit has just been plugged in. The unit runs normally while the message shows.

What to do when ELE LOS shows on the commercial applianceKind of codeControls and power
The controller itself is reporting trouble, or the supply behind it is: a display with dead segments, a keypad that stopped responding after steam or degreaser got behind it, relays that stick, stored recipes or cycles that vanished overnight, a blown control fuse, or one leg of a three-phase feed missing so half the heat or the pump is gone. A full power cycle at the breaker, done as the manual describes, clears a passing glitch; a code that returns, a scorched smell or any sign of moisture behind the panel means the breaker stays off, and that is a visit.

Controllers, touch panels, relays, contactors and interlocks tested, and replaced only when the evidence says so.

A commercial appliance error code appears as letters or numbers on a combi, fryer, reach-in controller, dish machine or laundry machine display, or as a flashing light or an alarm tone.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Traulsen's own guidance for ELE LOS on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Read the cabinet temperature on the display and probe the food to see how warm it got while the power was off.
Log the reading and, if food was above 41°F, follow your health code on discard.
Press the alarm key once to clear the message.
If ELE LOS returns with no known outage, book a visit to check the cord, plug and outlet.

What not to do
ELE LOS does not mean the control or compressor has failed; it is a record of an event. A message that returns every day with no outage points to a loose plug, a tripping breaker or a worn cord.

A booking with a code goes further when it has the code as shown, the model and serial from the data plate, and a word on whether the unit still holds temperature, heats, rinses or spins. With those three, the office can match the likely part to your unit the same day.
