Why your Hoshizaki back bar cooler is thermostat issue

The first things owners spot on a thermostat issue Hoshizaki back bar cooler: temperature inaccurate, cycling abnormally. Bad thermostat or temperature sensor. Nine times out of ten it comes down to stuck thermostat contacts. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

  • Failed temperature sensor
  • Wiring fault to the sensor
  • Stuck thermostat contacts
  • A bad control board
  • A miscalibrated thermostat

Known Hoshizaki back bar cooler weak points

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

Before you call anyone, compare the reading against a separate thermometer placed in the same spot for an hour.

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.
