Underbar fridge repairs: what goes wrong
Underbar fridges live in the hardest environment of any commercial fridge: boxed in under a counter, surrounded by warm bodies and spilt drinks, with the condenser breathing the warmest air in the room through a grille that is rarely cleaned. The compressor runs hot, the fan motors clog, and the sliding doors and gaskets take a beating every night.
The usual faults are a condenser blocked with dust and fluff so the unit overheats and trips, an evaporator fan that has failed so the cabinet ices up and the beer on the top shelf is warm, a controller or probe reading wrongly, worn gaskets and door runners, and compressor relay or capacitor failures. Spilt liquid finding its way into the electrics is a cause we see more in bars than anywhere else.
We work around your trading. A morning visit before opening is usually best, but if the unit dies during service we will come then.

On site repair
How we repair underbar fridges and back bar chillers
Underbar repairs are done in place: we pull the unit out far enough to clean the condenser, replace fan motors, controllers, probes, relays, capacitors and compressors, and replace gaskets and door runners. Regassing is done after a leak test with the correct refrigerant for the unit.
A condenser clean every few months doubles the life of an underbar compressor. For bars and restaurants we offer a planned visit to clean and check every unit behind the counter before the busy season.

FAQ
Underbar fridge repair questions
Why does my underbar fridge cut out on busy nights?+
The condenser is blocked or the unit has no airflow under the counter, so the compressor overheats and the overload trips. Cleaning the condenser and improving airflow usually solves it; if the overload has been tripping for months the compressor may also need testing.
Can you come before we open?+
Yes. We schedule morning visits for bars and restaurants so the fridges are cold before service, and we attend emergencies during trading hours too.
Do you repair the sliding doors and gaskets?+
Yes. Worn gaskets and door runners let warm air in and make the unit work harder, so we replace them as part of keeping the fridge efficient.
