Why your commercial refrigerator is compressor failure

The first things owners spot when a commercial refrigerator starts compressor failure: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. Nine times out of ten it comes down to failed start relay or capacitor. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

  • Refrigerant charge loss
  • A contaminated sealed system
  • Failed start relay or capacitor
  • An electrical short in the windings
  • A seized compressor

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

Worth checking yourself first: listen for a hum with no start, or a repeated clicking sound, and confirm the unit is actually getting power. Also, check the breaker hasn't tripped and the unit's overload protector hasn't kicked out, since both can look like a dead compressor. Once you've ruled that out, confirming an actual seized compressor versus a tripped protector needs an amp reading, and swapping a compressor means recovering and recharging refrigerant safely, which takes an experienced technician.

How we fix it

An experienced tech tests the commercial refrigerator systematically and pinpoints what's actually causing the compressor failure. Genuine OEM parts for all major commercial refrigerator brands ride on the truck, so the fix usually happens the same day. Most compressor failure jobs finish same-day, at a flat price, under our warranty.

The commercial refrigerator broke right before the weekend and they still came out same-day. Clean, on-time, and they took the old part with them. Would call again.

★★★★★
No waiting around — the commercial refrigerator was diagnosed within an hour of the tech arriving. No runaround — they told me honestly what it needed and fixed just that.

★★★★★
They squeezed our commercial refrigerator in on a busy day and still showed up inside the window. Flat price agreed up front, and they stood behind the labour warranty.
