Why your Summit Commercial back bar cooler is not cooling
A Summit Commercial 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. The usual culprit is a bad evaporator fan motor. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- Faulty temperature control board
- Failed compressor or start relay
- Refrigerant leak in the sealed system
- Defrost fault icing over the evaporator
- A bad evaporator fan motor
Known Summit Commercial back bar cooler weak points
- Door gasket wear causing temperature loss and interior condensation
- Thermostat/temperature-control drift out of NSF holding range
- Compressor or evaporator fan failure on compact undercounter units
- Reduced cooling capacity in hot, high-ambient kitchen conditions
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
One thing you can rule out on your own: 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. Once you've ruled that out, 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.
