Why your Hoshizaki back bar cooler is not cooling

A Hoshizaki back bar cooler that is not cooling tends to show the same signs: unit runs but temperature stays warm — usually a compressor, condenser, or refrigerant issue. On this platform it's most often dirty or blocked condenser coils. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

  • Failed compressor or start relay
  • A stuck or failed damper control
  • Faulty temperature control board

Known Hoshizaki back bar cooler weak points

  • scale/lime buildup triggering cleaning cycles and harvest problems on ice machines
  • float valve, water pump, and bin control switch failures
  • dirty condenser causing high head pressure and error codes
  • evaporator and thermistor faults on CRMR reach-ins

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

Worth checking yourself first: confirm the back bar cooler has power, the thermostat is actually set cold, and the condenser coils or vents aren't blocked by dust or stored items. Also, listen for the compressor running at all, and make sure nothing is blocking airflow around the back or bottom vents. Beyond that, not-cooling that keeps recurring after the coils are clean usually means the sealed system has lost its charge, and recharging it needs recovery equipment and an experienced technician.

How we fix it

An experienced tech tests the Hoshizaki back bar cooler systematically and pinpoints what's actually causing the not cooling. Genuine Hoshizaki parts are readily available via authorized distributors; refrigerant/sealed-system work requires an experienced technician and regular water treatment is advised. You approve a flat price up front, and the work is backed by our labour and parts warranty.

They squeezed our Hoshizaki back bar cooler in on a busy day and still showed up inside the window. They clearly knew Hoshizaki inside out and had the part on the truck.
