RHT132WUT-FHS

Overview

The Traulsen RHT132WUT-FHS is a one-section Spec-Line reach-in refrigerator for commercial foodservice operations. Its 24.2 cu. ft. capacity provides refrigerated storage in a single cabinet, with three adjustable coated wire shelves for organizing ingredients and supplies. A wide, full-height solid door is hinged on the right, and the stainless steel interior and exterior suit the demands of a working kitchen.

The self-contained refrigeration system is mounted on top of the cabinet. Smart Control uses an LED display, adaptive sensors and diagnostic capabilities to monitor refrigeration performance. The balanced system maintains cabinet temperatures between 34°F and 38°F for refrigerated holding.

Key Features

• Commercial reach-in storage: One section with a stated capacity of 24.2 cu. ft. Manufacturer-provided nominal cubic footage may not represent actual usable space; confirm fit if a particular usable capacity is essential.
• Solid, right-hinged door: The full-height door has a self-closing cam-lift hinge system and a 120-degree stay-open feature for loading and unloading.
• Smart Control: An LED display, adaptive sensors and diagnostic capabilities support refrigeration performance monitoring.
• Cabinet visibility: Interior LED lighting activates automatically during operation.
• Flexible interior: Three adjustable, coated wire shelves let staff arrange stored products by workflow or item size.
• Cleaning-oriented details: Magnetic EZ-Clean gaskets, raised door liners that protect the gaskets, seamless polished door corners, stainless steel breaker caps and a recessed horizontal workflow handle are specified.
• Self-contained refrigeration: The top-mounted system includes a variable-speed compressor, thermostatic expansion valve, high-humidity evaporator coil and finless StayClear condenser coil.
• Refrigerant and condensate: The system uses R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant and a non-electric condensate evaporator.
• Floor access: Adjustable 6-inch legs provide clearance beneath the cabinet.

Installation & Requirements

The RHT132WUT-FHS is specified as a self-contained, 115 V unit with a 9-ft. cord and NEMA 5-15P plug. Its electrical rating is 7.6 A, 60 Hz, single phase. Check the product nameplate and site electrical requirements before connection.

The supplied Traulsen installation and operation manual is for model RLT126WUT-FHS, not RHT132WUT-FHS. It should not be treated as the exact model manual. As family-level guidance, that manual says to use a dedicated grounded outlet for cord-and-plug units, not to remove the grounding prong or use an extension cord, and to have electrical connections made in accordance with local codes by a qualified electrician. It also calls for either at least 12 inches of overhead clearance above the condensing unit or unrestricted airflow at the back of the unit. Confirm installation requirements against the correct documentation and the RHT132WUT-FHS nameplate.

The supplied family manual also notes that the cabinet needs enough side clearance for the door’s 120-degree stay-open feature and that the door must open at least 90 degrees to provide the maximum clear door width. These details are useful when planning placement, but should be checked against the current model’s installation documentation.

Operation

The product information gives a normal operating range of 34°F to 38°F. Smart Control monitors refrigeration performance using adaptive sensors and diagnostic capabilities, with readings shown on an LED display. The cabinet’s LED lighting activates automatically during operation. The door closes on its own through a cam-lift hinge system and can remain open at 120 degrees to assist with loading.

The supplied manual describes operation for a different Traulsen model and its INTELA-TRAUL controls. Because the RHT132WUT-FHS product information identifies Smart Control, do not assume that the other model’s control menus, defrost instructions or parameter settings apply to this refrigerator. Use the correct RHT132WUT-FHS operating documentation for model-specific control procedures.

Cleaning & Maintenance

The supplied manual is for the RLT126WUT-FHS, so its detailed procedures are family-level reference rather than confirmed instructions for every RHT132WUT-FHS component. It emphasizes keeping the condenser clean of lint and dust and says its described control may display a CLN-FIL message when cleaning is needed. The product information for this refrigerator specifies a finless StayClear condenser; use the correct model’s care instructions when accessing or cleaning the refrigeration system.

The family manual says to disconnect electrical power before cleaning any unit parts. For stainless steel care, it recommends products intended for stainless steel or products without chlorides, and warns against cleaners containing quaternary salts. It also advises using non-abrasive materials, cleaning in the direction of the grain when using a soft nylon pad, promptly removing food and beverage spills, rinsing cleaned areas with cool, clean water and wiping them dry. Avoid abrasive tools that can scratch the surface. Follow the RHT132WUT-FHS use and care documentation for procedures specific to this model.

The refrigerator’s magnetic EZ-Clean gaskets and raised door liners are specified as maintenance-oriented features. The supplied manual includes gasket replacement and shelf adjustment topics, but it does not establish model-specific replacement steps for the RHT132WUT-FHS.

Troubleshooting

The supplied family manual suggests basic pre-service checks: confirm the power cord is plugged in, check the fuse or circuit breaker, and check that the power switch is on. The RHT132WUT-FHS product details provided here do not confirm a model-specific power-switch location or control troubleshooting sequence, so consult its correct manual before attempting service. The manual also advises contacting an authorized Traulsen service agent if the unit remains inoperative after its listed checks. For wiring diagrams or service information, it says to provide the model and serial number when contacting Traulsen Service.

Applications

This one-section reach-in is suited to restaurant kitchens, institutional foodservice operations and other commercial kitchens that need staff-accessible refrigerated storage. Its adjustable shelves can help organize ingredients for kitchen stations, while the solid door and 34–38°F operating range support refrigerated holding. Check the cabinet dimensions, door swing and available electrical service as part of equipment planning.
