Why your True refrigerated display case is compressor failure
When a True refrigerated display case is compressor failure, here's what you'll usually notice: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. More often than not it traces back to failed start relay or capacitor. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- Refrigerant charge loss
- Failed start relay or capacitor
- An electrical short in the windings
- An overheated overload protector
Known True refrigerated display case weak points
- condenser fan motor failure and dirty condenser coils causing high box temperatures
- door gasket wear and self-closing hinge cartridge failures on reach-ins
- evaporator coil icing and clogged/frozen condensate drain lines
- electronic temperature controller faults on newer Spec Series units
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. Past that point, 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.
