Why your back bar cooler is compressor failure

Catching compressor failure early on a back bar cooler 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 an overheated overload protector. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

  • A seized compressor
  • An overheated overload protector
  • Failed start relay or capacitor
  • Refrigerant charge loss

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

The one self-check that's actually worth your time: 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, 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.

We trace the compressor failure on your back bar cooler to its source instead of throwing parts at it. Whatever the brand, we stock the parts that fail most on a back bar cooler and fit them on the spot. Most compressor failure jobs finish same-day, at a flat price, under our warranty.
