Why your Hoshizaki back bar cooler is not cooling

Catching not cooling early on a Hoshizaki back bar cooler is usually straightforward: unit runs but temperature stays warm — usually a compressor, condenser, or refrigerant issue. On this platform it's most often defrost fault icing over the evaporator. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

  • Failed compressor or start relay
  • A bad evaporator fan motor
  • Dirty or blocked condenser coils
  • Refrigerant leak in the sealed system

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 it's still acting up after that, 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.

How we fix it

We trace the not cooling on your Hoshizaki back bar cooler to its source instead of throwing parts at it. Genuine Hoshizaki parts are readily available via authorized distributors; refrigerant/sealed-system work requires an experienced technician and regular water treatment is advised. You approve a flat price up front, and the work is backed by our labour and parts warranty.

The Hoshizaki back bar cooler broke right before the weekend and they still came out same-day. The diagnostic fee came off the repair total, just like they promised.

Two other shops couldn't fit us in — these guys fixed the Hoshizaki back bar cooler the same day. No runaround — they told me honestly what it needed and fixed just that.
