Perlick Back Bar Cooler Not Cooling in Lakeside, FL

Why your Perlick back bar cooler is not cooling
On a Perlick back bar cooler, not cooling usually announces itself like this: unit runs but temperature stays warm — usually a compressor, condenser, or refrigerant issue. Nine times out of ten it comes down to worn door gaskets bleeding cold air. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- Faulty temperature control board
- Failed compressor or start relay
- Defrost fault icing over the evaporator
- Worn door gaskets bleeding cold air
Known Perlick back bar cooler weak points
- condenser coils clogging with bar dust and lint
- door gasket wear and hinge sag on reach-under boxes
- beer faucet and shank seal leaks
- glycol power-pack / circulation pump faults on remote systems
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. If none of that changes anything, 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.
