Important Model-Version Clarification
This unit is the older True T-19 with R134a refrigerant and an 8.9-amp data-plate rating.
It is not the currently manufactured T-19-HC hydrocarbon model.
The current T-19-HC uses R290 refrigerant and has substantially different electrical and refrigeration specifications. Those current-model figures must not be substituted for the photographed unit. The physical data plate on this refrigerator is the controlling specification.
Legacy True literature identifies the T-19 configuration as a 27-inch-wide, one-door refrigerator with three standard shelves, a 1/3-horsepower refrigeration system, 8.9-amp operation, and R134a refrigerant. Legacy True refrigeration catalog: https://greenleafpacific.com/image/catalogues/true_refrigeration_equip_catalog_2015.pdf
Description
The True T-19 is a narrow, commercial-grade reach-in refrigerator designed for cold storage in restaurants, cafés, bakeries, bars, hotels, catering kitchens, institutional foodservice operations, convenience stores, and other professional facilities.
Its approximately 27-inch-wide cabinet provides upright refrigerated storage while occupying less floor width than larger two- and three-section reach-in refrigerators.
The full-height solid door helps reduce light exposure and heat infiltration compared with transparent merchandising doors. The bottom-mounted refrigeration system raises the usable lower shelf area and allows the refrigeration compartment to be accessed from the lower portion of the cabinet.
The cabinet was manufactured with a stainless steel front, aluminum-finished exterior panels, an aluminum interior liner, a stainless steel interior floor, polyurethane insulation, adjustable shelving, a self-closing door system, an exterior temperature display, and commercial swivel casters.
Legacy True T-Series literature publishes a factory operating range of approximately 33°F to 38°F for properly installed and maintained refrigerators. It also describes the system as an oversized, factory-balanced R134a refrigeration system. Legacy True refrigeration catalog: https://greenleafpacific.com/image/catalogues/true_refrigeration_equip_catalog_2015.pdf
Temperature Performance
Manufacturer-Published Operating Range: Approximately 33°F to 38°F
Temperature Application: Commercial Refrigerated Food Storage
Freezer Operation: No
Temperature Control: Commercial Cabinet Thermostat – Exact Installed Control Must Be Verified
Exterior Temperature Display: Standard Legacy T-Series Feature – Test Physical Display
Actual cabinet temperature depends on:
Ambient kitchen temperature
Condenser cleanliness
Door-opening frequency
Door-gasket condition
Thermostat calibration
Food-loading temperature
Product arrangement
Interior airflow
Evaporator-fan performance
Condenser-fan performance
Compressor condition
Refrigerant charge
Electrical voltage
Rear ventilation
Cabinet leveling
The refrigerator should be operated empty and monitored with a calibrated commercial thermometer before food is loaded.
Food must not block the evaporator housing or rear air-distribution path.
The manufacturer’s legacy manual advises maintaining approximately four inches of clearance between stored product and the evaporator housing to support proper airflow.
Refrigeration System
Self-contained commercial refrigeration system
Bottom-mounted condensing unit
1/3-horsepower data-plate rating
Forced-air cabinet circulation
R134a refrigerant
10-ounce / 283-gram refrigerant charge
Commercial hermetic compressor
Condenser coil
Condenser fan
Evaporator coil
Evaporator fan
Capillary-tube refrigerant-control system associated with this model family
Thermostatic cabinet-temperature control
Condensate-management components
Filter drier
Compressor starting components
Compressor overload protection
Lower front service access
The bottom-mounted refrigeration arrangement allows the compressor to operate closer to the cooler, lower section of the kitchen and provides easier service access than many top-mounted systems.
The physical condition of the compressor, fan motors, condenser coil, evaporator, drain pan, refrigerant tubing, wiring, and starting components should be inspected before final commercial installation.
R134a Refrigerant
Refrigerant Type: R134a
Factory Data-Plate Charge: 10 oz / 283 g
High-Side Design Pressure: 312 PSIG
Low-Side Design Pressure: 140 PSIG
This refrigerator does not use the R290 refrigerant found in the current T-19-HC model.
The sealed refrigeration system should be serviced only by qualified commercial-refrigeration technicians using approved recovery, evacuation, leak-testing, charging, and repair procedures.
Refrigerant must not be released intentionally.
Do not drill, cut, crush, bend, heat, or puncture the refrigerant tubing.
Any replacement compressor, refrigerant, lubricant, filter drier, fan motor, thermostat, or electrical component must be selected according to the physical model and serial number.

Shelving
Legacy Factory Configuration: Three Adjustable Heavy-Duty PVC-Coated Wire Shelves
Shelves Visible in Supplied Photographs: None – Interior Not Shown
Shelves Guaranteed Included: No, Unless Physically Confirmed at Pickup
The original model series was typically supplied with three adjustable shelves and four shelf clips per shelf.
Because no interior photograph was supplied, do not assume that the following are included:
Three shelves
Shelf clips
Shelf pilasters
Shelf supports
Replacement shelving
Tray slides
Food-pan racks
Shelf dividers
Shelf liners
Inspect all shelves for:
Bent wires
Broken welds
Damaged coating
Rust
Missing clips
Uneven positioning
Excessive loading damage
Shelves must be level, correctly supported, and arranged to preserve cabinet airflow.
Interior Lighting
Legacy T-Series solid-door models were commonly equipped with incandescent interior lighting.
The following have not been confirmed from the photographs:
Interior lamp
Lamp socket
Lamp shield
Door-activated light switch
Manual light switch
Complete lighting wiring
Lighting operation
Disconnect electrical power before replacing any bulb, lamp socket, switch, or wiring component.
Casters
Four swivel casters are visible.
Legacy True literature identifies approximately 2.5-inch-diameter swivel casters with an approximate installed height of 3.25 inches as standard equipment for the T-19.
Inspect every caster for:
Secure attachment
Bent stems
Wheel damage
Flat spots
Grease buildup
Bearing wear
Brake operation
Cabinet stability
All casters must remain firmly seated against the lower frame.
The refrigerator must be leveled front to back and side to side. A poorly leveled cabinet can affect door operation and condensate drainage.

Run the refrigerator empty before loading.
Use a calibrated commercial thermometer to verify stable operation between approximately 33°F and 38°F.
Confirm that the compressor cycles correctly.
Confirm both condenser and evaporator fans operate properly.
Confirm that no abnormal vibration, electrical odor, oil residue, or refrigerant leak is present.
Leave adequate space around the interior evaporator cover.
Comply with all applicable electrical, refrigeration, fire, health, sanitation, and building requirements.
Cleaning & Care
