Perlick Bar Refrigeration Repair
We repair Perlick bar refrigeration in Miami, Los Angeles, Houston, New York and San Diego, including HB, HC and HD undercounters, BBR and BBS back bar coolers and column units. We read the flashing code first, then check the condenser, door seals, probes and defrost.
Common Perlick problems we fix
In plain words, the way kitchen and laundry staff describe them when they call.
Cabinet warmer than usual
Cabinet too cold, product freezing
Condensation inside or outside the cabinet
Door alarm showing OPd
Compressor operating very long cycles
Probe error E1 or E2 flashing
Perlick Undercounters, Back Bars and Columns
Our Perlick work covers HB, HC and HD 24-inch undercounters and the HC 48-inch model, which include refrigerators, wine reserves and freezers. It also covers back bar equipment such as the BBR, BBS, PTR, SDBR, SDP, DZS and DDC models, and the CR24D and CC24D column refrigerators. The undercounters use a digital LED controller with an alarm light and a defrost light, and they defrost with hot gas every four hours. The HC24FS defrosts manually on a six-hour cycle.
The controller flashes codes that we read right away. E1 is the compartment probe, E2 is the evaporator probe, AH1 is a high compartment temperature, AL1 is a low one, and OPd is an open door. An audible alarm sounds on any of them.
Why Bars Are Hard on Refrigerators
Doors open all night, ice and spills reach the louvers, and warm bottles go in by the case. Perlick rates its heat rejection at 75 degrees F, and a humid bar room, as in Miami and Houston, adds condensation on top of that. We check the condenser and louvers, door gaskets and switch, probes, defrost and control settings.
The HB, HC and HD undercounters use R600a, a flammable refrigerant, so we take special care with the sealed system. On older bar coolers we are honest about repair against replacement, and our price is in writing before work, with a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Perlick codes and alarms
What the display or the blinking light means, what is safe to check, and when to stop and call us.
Perlick lines and model numbers we service
Current and older lines. Find the number on the data plate and open its series for the usual repairs.
What does a flashing E1 mean on my Perlick?
A flashing E1 means the controller has a problem with the compartment temperature probe. The cabinet can run too warm or too cold without a good reading. We test the probe and its wiring.
Why does my Perlick undercounter show OPd?
OPd is the open door alarm. A door left ajar, a worn gasket or a stuck door switch plunger can cause it. We check all three and clear the alarm once the door seals properly.
Is condensation on my back bar cooler a problem?
Some is normal in a humid room, but heavy condensation points to a gasket, door position or temperature setting. We check the seals and settings and tell you what we find.
