Continental Refrigeration Back Bar Cooler Not Cooling in Jacksonville, FL
Unit runs but temperature stays warm — usually a compressor, condenser, or refrigerant issue. We fix this on Continental Refrigeration back bar coolers across Jacksonville. Our trucks run this area every day, so next-day is the norm and same-day is common.

Why your Continental Refrigeration back bar cooler is not cooling
Catching not cooling early on a Continental Refrigeration back bar cooler is usually straightforward: unit runs but temperature stays warm — usually a compressor, condenser, or refrigerant issue. Nine times out of ten it comes down to failed compressor or start relay. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- Failed compressor or start relay
- Faulty temperature control board
- A stuck or failed damper control
Known Continental Refrigeration back bar cooler weak points
- defrost-board failure that stops the evaporator fans while the compressor still runs
- cracked or torn door gaskets letting warm air in and overworking the compressor
- compressor overheating from a dirty condenser or insufficient clearance
- thermostat malfunction causing the compressor to run constantly
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Worth checking yourself first: listen for the compressor running at all, and make sure nothing is blocking airflow around the back or bottom vents. Past that point, the cause is almost always a failed compressor or a refrigerant leak in the sealed system, and handling refrigerant legally requires an experienced technician — which is where DIY stops.
