Why your Perlick back bar cooler is compressor failure
A Perlick 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. More often than not it traces back to an overheated overload protector. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- Failed start relay or capacitor
- A contaminated sealed system
- An electrical short in the windings
- A seized compressor
Known Perlick back bar cooler weak points
- condenser coils clogging with bar dust and lint
- door gasket wear and hinge sag on reach-under boxes
- beer faucet and shank seal leaks
- glycol power-pack / circulation pump faults on remote systems
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the easy cause: 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. If none of that changes anything, 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.
