Why your Perlick beer dispenser & draft system is compressor failure
Catching compressor failure early on a Perlick beer dispenser & draft system is usually straightforward: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. More often than not it traces back to refrigerant charge loss.
Most likely causes
- A seized compressor
- A contaminated sealed system
- An overheated overload protector
- An electrical short in the windings
- Failed start relay or capacitor
Known Perlick beer dispenser & draft system 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

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. If that doesn't fix it, 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.
