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.
Diagnose before selecting refrigeration parts
Operator checks below are external observations and manual-approved cleaning with the machine stopped and utilities isolated as the manual requires. Keep guards installed during operation. Technician checks include internal wiring, energized measurements, controls, pressurized plumbing and refrigerant service. Do not bypass interlocks, open live compartments or change protected settings to make the symptom disappear.
Cooler not cooling or running warm
Applies to: Self-contained coolers listed in OM007/OM008; use the remote manual for remote units.
- Observe: record the displayed temperature, an independent temperature observation, recent loading, door openings and any displayed message. A single reading immediately after loading or opening a door cannot separate a fault from recovery; log the trend with the doors closed under normal conditions.
- Check closure and airflow: move stored items away from air paths and the door edge. Look for a visible gap or torn gasket. If closing or rearranging the load changes the trend, address that condition before selecting a control.
- Check heat rejection: keep the documented intake and discharge clear. If the accessible filter/condenser needs cleaning, follow the exact manual with power isolated; exposed electrical parts or difficult access require service. Recheck under comparable conditions after cleaning.
Service and ordering decision: If the cabinet stays warm, a technician should distinguish fan, sensing/control and sealed-system faults. 06001449 condenser fan motor and 07000458 evaporator fan motor are different catalog components, not automatic remedies. Match the confirmed failed part, voltage, mounting and serial application.
Compressor runs excessively
Applies to: Coolers, frosters and freezers; interpret operation using the correct manual above.
- Establish the pattern: note whether long operation follows restocking, frequent opening or a change in ambient conditions. Compare periods with similar use; sound alone does not reliably identify which motor is running.
- Check load and sealing: if the door is held open by stock or a gap is visible, correct the obstruction or follow the door-seal checks below. If frost is also restricting airflow, use the model-specific defrost guidance.
- Reassess: if the same symptom persists with unobstructed ventilation and proper closure, have service inspect the condenser/fan and verify that the control is calling appropriately before assessing the refrigeration circuit.
Service and ordering decision: Long runtime alone does not establish compressor failure. Refrigerant identification and all sealed-system work belong to qualified refrigeration service. Order only the component identified by testing; collect its markings and the full data tag.
Temperature swings: probe or controller?
Applies to: Electronic-control models in OM007, OM008, OM009 and OM014; controls and programs differ.
- Observe both readings: record display and independent temperature over time, including door use and defrost state. Different sensor locations or response times can produce different readings; a momentary mismatch is not proof of a bad probe.
- If both readings move together: first investigate actual cabinet conditions—loading, airflow, closure and defrost. If only the display behaves implausibly, record any exact message and recent service work for the technician.
- Technician decision: check sensor placement, connector/harness condition and the specified sensor test for that exact control. A failed sensor circuit points toward the probe or wiring. With valid input and correct configuration, continue to control outputs and the driven component. Do not apply a generic resistance value or swap controls by appearance.
Service and ordering decision: Use the serial-specific parts record and controller/probe identifiers. 06011056 LED thermostat with probes and 07000282 digital temperature controller have different documented applications. Confirm package contents and programming; do not infer a probe match from a distributor SKU.
Frost, condensation or weak airflow
Applies to: OM007/OM008 coolers and frosters, OM009 MF units, and OM014 F1S freezers within their stated scope.
- Locate the moisture: record whether it is at the door perimeter, on interior surfaces or beneath the unit. Door-edge moisture directs attention to closure; pooled water also needs a drain-path check. Location narrows the inspection but does not prove a cause.
- Look without reaching into fans: blocked return/discharge paths, load touching vents or ice contact require correction before motor diagnosis. Record whether frost returns after the manufacturer-approved defrost.
- Use the correct defrost instructions: OM014 distinguishes evaporator adaptive defrost from thawing frost on walls and shelves. OM009 addresses MF defrost separately. Protect stored product; do not chip ice or apply unapproved heat. Recurring ice after proper defrost and closure needs service.
Service and ordering decision: Have a technician distinguish drain, fan, defrost-control and refrigeration faults. Match any replacement fan/blade/guard as an assembly; a motor will not cure an obstruction or water-entry problem.
Door not sealing: gasket, hinge or alignment?
Applies to: Hinged refrigeration doors; use the cabinet-specific drawing for hardware.
- Clean and inspect: with normal cleaning completed, look for cuts, hardened areas or a gasket pulled out of its retainer. A local damaged section with an otherwise square door supports gasket inspection.
- Observe the door path: if the door rubs, sags or has uneven gaps around an intact gasket, record hinge movement and cabinet position for service. A new gasket cannot correct worn hinges or an unlevel cabinet.
- Confirm the match: photograph the gasket end profile without cutting it, mounting channel, magnet position and all four corners. Record outside width and height without stretching the seal. For hinges, record installed handing, hole spacing and pivot/offset. Do not loosen a loaded door to diagnose it.
Service and ordering decision: Service should correct alignment/hinge faults before reassessing the seal. Compare dart-mount and offset-magnet snap-in listings to the actual profile; their names are not proof of interchangeability. Request fitment help with the tag and measurements.

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 |
- Glastender 06001445 OEM 120V fan motor
- Glastender 06001453 end-wall cooler blower motor
- Glastender fan guard
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 digital 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.
