Why your Perlick back bar cooler is thermostat issue
When a Perlick back bar cooler is thermostat issue, here's what you'll usually notice: temperature inaccurate, cycling abnormally. Bad thermostat or temperature sensor. The usual culprit is wiring fault to the sensor. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Quick check — and when it's not DIY
The one self-check that's actually worth your time: confirm the temperature setting itself, and give the unit 24 hours after any adjustment before assuming it's broken. Also, compare the reading against a separate thermometer placed in the same spot for an hour. If none of that changes anything, a sensor that's confirmed inaccurate has to be replaced and recalibrated against the control board — guessing which part is at fault wastes a parts order.
