Repair vs. replace
Why commercial repair pays back fast
Event nights are triage nights — after-hours dispatch
Friday and Saturday night bar failures are triaged after-hours. Tell dispatch it's a bar and whether an event or private booking is at risk.
Beer-line temperature stability wins the pint
Kegerator temperature drift and dispense-line temp are the two failures that show up during rush. Condenser cleaning and tower-fan service catch both before service starts.
Glasswasher descale on Twin Cities hard water
Hard water scales booster heaters and rinse arms fast. Scheduled descale is dramatically cheaper than a heater or pump replacement.
Ice-machine cleaning schedule prevents rebuilds
Scaled Hoshizaki and Manitowoc evaporators cut production 30–40% before they fail. Deep-cleans every 6 months keep the bar from running out of ice on a Friday.

If your equipment is down right now
If bar equipment is failing mid-shift
1. Move beer and product to a working cooler
If a back-bar or kegerator is warm, move kegs and bottled product to a working unit if available. Document temps.
2. Vacuum the condenser and check the door seal
Pull the grille and vacuum the condenser. Confirm the door seals flush — a torn gasket is roughly 30% of back-bar calls.
3. Photograph controllers and error codes
Snap displays on kegerators, glasswashers, and ice machines. Speeds up dispatch.
4. Call commercial dispatch — after-hours available
(651) 364-7466. Bar and nightclub calls on event nights get after-hours triage.
FAQs
Common questions from operators
My kegerator is dispensing foamy beer — is that a repair issue?
Sometimes. Foam is usually a mix of dispense-line temperature drift, CO₂ pressure, and beer-line cleaning. If the kegerator is warm or the tower fan isn't running, that's ours. If pressure or line cleaning is the issue, we'll flag it so your gas supplier or a line-cleaning service can address it.
Do you service Perlick and Glastender back-bar coolers?
Yes — Perlick and Glastender back-bar coolers and kegerators are core inventory. OEM parts on the truck for compressor short-cycle, hinges, gaskets, and glass-door service.
Do you handle glasswasher descale and rebuild?
Yes — CMA, Hobart, Champion, Jackson undercounter and door-type. Wash pump, booster heater, rinse-arm rebuild, descale, controller, detergent and rinse-aid calibration.
Do you offer after-hours emergency for bars?
Yes. Friday and Saturday night dispatch is available for bars, cocktail lounges, and nightclubs when refrigeration or ice is down during service.
