Why your Continental Refrigeration commercial refrigerator is compressor failure

A Continental Refrigeration commercial refrigerator 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. Nine times out of ten it comes down to refrigerant charge loss. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

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

Known Continental Refrigeration commercial refrigerator weak points

  • defrost-board failure that stops the evaporator fans while the compressor still runs
  • cracked or torn door gaskets letting warm air in and overworking the compressor
  • compressor overheating from a dirty condenser or insufficient clearance
  • thermostat malfunction causing the compressor to run constantly

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

Before booking a repair, check the breaker hasn't tripped and the unit's overload protector hasn't kicked out, since both can look like a dead compressor. Also, listen for a hum with no start, or a repeated clicking sound, and confirm the unit is actually getting power. When that isn't the fix, 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.

How we fix it

We trace the compressor failure on your Continental Refrigeration commercial refrigerator to its source instead of throwing parts at it. OEM parts are available through Continental's distributor network; sealed-system and refrigerant repairs require an experienced technician. You approve a flat price up front, and the work is backed by our labour and parts warranty.

Two other shops couldn't fit us in — these guys fixed the Continental Refrigeration commercial refrigerator the same day. Genuine Continental Refrigeration part, flat price, and done in a single visit.

The Continental Refrigeration commercial refrigerator broke right before the weekend and they still came out same-day. You can tell they work on Continental Refrigeration all the time — quick, clean diagnosis.

Called about our Continental Refrigeration commercial refrigerator in the morning and it was running again by evening. Stood behind the warranty and used a real Continental Refrigeration OEM part, not a knockoff.
