0Glastender Bar Refrigeration Parts & Repair Guide
Glastender bar refrigeration parts must match the cabinet’s model, serial range, service orientation, temperature application, and electrical specifications. This guide covers the service parts and diagnostic evidence commonly associated with Glastender coolers, frosters, freezers, and related refrigerated bar equipment.
Bar refrigeration equipment covered
Glastender organizes bar refrigeration into coolers, freezers, frosters, and accessories. Current cooler categories include reach-in, pass-thru, slide-top, draft, and cocktail-prep configurations. Equipment construction and service access vary, so a part used on one front-serviced cabinet should not be assumed to fit a side-serviced, remote, pass-thru, or different-temperature cabinet.
| Equipment type | Operating purpose | Common service-part groups |
|---|---|---|
| Coolers | Refrigerated beverage, food, wine, or draft-storage applications | Door gaskets, hinges, handles, fan motors, controls, probes, shelves, and refrigeration components |
| Frosters | Lower-temperature glass or mug-frosting storage | Temperature controls, probes, fan assemblies, door hardware, defrost-related components, and sealing parts |
| Freezers | Frozen-product or specialty underbar storage | Controls, fan components, gaskets, hinges, shelves, and sealed-system components |
| Remote or specialty units | Cabinets tied to remote systems or specialized bar applications | Application-specific controls, valves, coils, fan components, and cabinet hardware |
Glastender refrigeration parts by system
Door sealing and hardware
A torn gasket, weak magnetic seal, worn hinge, loose handle, or misaligned door increases air infiltration and can cause condensation, frost, temperature drift, and longer compressor operation. Confirm gasket mounting profile and finished size. For hardware, verify handing, mounting-hole pattern, finish, and the complete assembly—not just the visible piece.
- Glastender snap-in offset-magnet gasket
- Glastender dart-mount gasket
- Glastender hinge assembly set
- Glastender undercounter pull handle
Gasket and hinge matching checklist: record the gasket’s finished outside dimensions, cross-section, dart or snap-in mounting profile, magnet position, and corner construction. For hinges, photograph the closed and open positions and verify left/right handing from the equipment’s operating side, pivot location, mounting-hole pattern, offset, and whether the listing is a single hinge or complete set.
Airflow and fan components
Evaporator and condenser airflow affect heat transfer. Noise, weak airflow, intermittent rotation, ice pattern changes, or a hot cabinet can justify inspecting the fan blade, motor, guard, wiring, and obstructions. Match voltage, rotation, shaft, connector, mounting, and physical clearance.
| Fan application | Role and location clue | Available example |
|---|---|---|
| Evaporator fan | Circulates cabinet air across the evaporator side; confirm the motor, blade, guard, wiring, and installed orientation. | 07000458 OEM ECM evaporator fan motor |
| Condenser fan | Moves ambient air across the condenser side; confirm service compartment, airflow direction, voltage, mounting, and clearance. | 06001449 OEM 120V condenser fan motor |
Temperature sensing and control
A displayed temperature does not by itself prove the controller is defective. Compare actual cabinet temperature, probe placement, wiring condition, set point, differential, defrost state, door sealing, and airflow. White-wine, beer or food, red-wine, freezer, and froster applications may require different operating ranges or programming.
| Component | What it does | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature probe or sensor | Provides temperature input to the control system. | Probe type, placement, connector, wiring condition, and documented resistance or test procedure. |
| Temperature controller | Processes sensor input and commands system outputs according to its application and settings. | OEM number, voltage, application, programming, connector layout, and serial range. See the 07000282 OEM mug-froster temperature controller. |
Available inventory includes the Glastender 06007477 white-wine thermostat. Confirm the exact application and electrical rating.
Shelving and cabinet components
Shelf clips, pilasters, and shelves must support the intended load and match the cabinet mounting system. Inspect for corrosion, distortion, missing retainers, and uneven support. Shop the Glastender wire shelves and 06001565 stainless pilaster shelf clip.
Refrigeration troubleshooting matrix
| Symptom | Start with | Do not overlook |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet runs warm | Door seal, condenser cleanliness, fan operation, loading, set point | Ambient conditions, probe position, service clearance |
| Heavy frost or condensation | Gasket contact, door alignment, openings, defrost behavior | Torn retainer, hinge wear, blocked drain path |
| Fan noise or no airflow | Obstruction, blade condition, motor power, mounting | Ice contact, damaged guard, wiring connection |
| Temperature swings | Actual temperature test, probe, controller settings, airflow | Frequent door use, product load, loose sensor |
| Compressor runs excessively | Heat rejection, sealing, airflow, set point | High ambient temperature and sealed-system condition |
Fitment checklist before ordering
- Photograph the refrigeration data tag inside the left cabinet wall.
- Record model, serial, voltage, cabinet width, temperature application, and service orientation.
- Capture the original OEM number and all component markings.
- Compare dimensions, connectors, rotation, mounting points, gasket profile, or control range as applicable.
- Use a qualified technician for electrical, sealed-system, or refrigerant work.
Common refrigeration ordering mistakes
- Treating an evaporator and condenser fan motor as interchangeable because voltage or appearance is similar.
- Replacing a controller before testing the probe, airflow, door seal, wiring, and actual cabinet temperature.
- Selecting a gasket by cabinet width without matching profile, finished dimensions, magnet position, and retainer.
- Determining hinge handing from a loose part instead of the installed door and operating-side orientation.

Glastender refrigeration parts FAQ
What information is needed to identify a Glastender refrigeration part?
Record the complete model and serial number, original OEM number, voltage, component dimensions, mounting details, connector style, and cabinet configuration. Glastender states that the refrigeration serial tag is located inside the left wall.
Can a door gasket be selected from cabinet width alone?
No. Gasket profile, dart or snap-in mounting style, magnet position, corner construction, and finished dimensions all matter. Compare the removed gasket and retainer before ordering.
What can cause a Glastender cooler to run warm?
Possible causes include airflow restriction, a dirty condenser, damaged door sealing, fan failure, control or probe issues, heavy loading, high ambient conditions, or a refrigeration-system fault. Diagnose the complete system before replacing a control.
Are cooler and froster controls interchangeable?
Do not assume they are. Cooler, wine, freezer, and froster applications can use different temperature ranges, probes, programming, and electrical requirements. Match the exact OEM number and documented application.
Who should service R290 refrigeration components?
A qualified commercial-refrigeration technician should perform sealed-system, electrical, or refrigerant service. Follow the model manual and all requirements for flammable refrigerants.
