Why your Hoshizaki back bar cooler is not cooling
Here's how not cooling typically presents on a Hoshizaki back bar cooler: 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
- Refrigerant leak in the sealed system
- Faulty temperature control board
- A stuck or failed damper control
- A bad evaporator fan motor
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: listen for the compressor running at all, and make sure nothing is blocking airflow around the back or bottom vents. If that doesn't fix it, 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.
