Why your Arctic Air back bar cooler is compressor failure
A Arctic Air back bar cooler that is compressor failure tends to show the same signs: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. On this platform it's most often an overheated overload protector. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- A seized compressor
- An electrical short in the windings
- Failed start relay or capacitor
- Refrigerant charge loss
- An overheated overload protector
Known Arctic Air back bar cooler weak points
- condenser and evaporator fan-motor failures
- door gasket and self-closing hinge wear
- thermostat/temperature swings
- compressor start-relay and overload failures
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the easy cause: check the breaker hasn't tripped and the unit's overload protector hasn't kicked out, since both can look like a dead compressor. If it's still acting up after that, a failing compressor is a sealed, high-pressure, refrigerant-charged part, and replacing one requires an experienced technician and recovery equipment no homeowner has on hand.
