Back Bar Cooler Thermostat Issue in St. Augustine, FL
A thermometer left inside for an hour reads 6–10°F off the setpoint, and the unit short-cycles instead of holding a steady band on the back bar cooler. The fault itself is contained today; what it damages next is what makes the bill grow.

Why your back bar cooler is thermostat issue
Temperature swings several degrees either side of the setting through the day, so some product freezes while the rest sits too warm on the back bar cooler. This is worth booking now rather than next week — it rarely stays this small.
Causes, in the order we check them
- 01A thermostat reading out of calibration
- 02A temperature sensor giving bad data
- 03Thermostat contacts that have stuck
Quick checks worth doing
There's a two-minute check worth doing first: compare the reading against a separate thermometer left in the same spot for an hour. To confirm it either way, check the drain outlet and the pan for standing water or ice, which tells you whether the defrost water is getting out. Beyond that, if the setting's right and it still misreads, the sensor or board needs testing with a meter — guessing here means paying for a part that wasn't the problem.
Our technician runs a full sealed-system and control diagnostic on your back bar cooler before quoting anything. Thermostat issue has more than one possible cause, and telling them apart is what the on-site diagnosis is for.
What St. Augustine's climate does to a back bar cooler
A St. Augustine summer is a long one, and a back bar cooler runs through all of it without a break. Salt in the coastal air corrodes exposed condenser coils and fan motors, while summer heat forces the compressor into longer run cycles just to hold temperature. Which is why the St. Augustine checklist for a back bar cooler includes the parts this climate reaches first.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
Are the parts genuine?
OEM wherever the repair calls for it. If a part is no longer produced for your model, you hear that up front rather than after the invoice.
What if the same issue comes back?
Every repair carries an 18-month labor warranty and a 90-day parts warranty. If the same issue returns in that window, we come back at no charge.
When is a replacement the better call?
Yes. Some failures cost more to put right than the remaining life of the unit justifies, and a technician who has just measured the fault is the person best placed to tell you which case you are in.
What does the diagnosis involve?
The technician confirms the fault on the unit itself — readings taken, not assumed — then explains what failed, why, and what the repair involves before anything is replaced.
