Quick check — and when it's not DIY
One thing you can rule out on your own: listen for the compressor running at all, and make sure nothing is blocking airflow around the back or bottom vents. Also, 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. 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.
