Why your Arctic Air walk-in cooler is compressor failure
When a Arctic Air walk-in cooler 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. Nine times out of ten it comes down to a contaminated sealed system. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- A contaminated sealed system
- An electrical short in the windings
- Failed start relay or capacitor
Known Arctic Air walk-in cooler weak points
- condenser and evaporator fan-motor failures
- door gasket and self-closing hinge wear
- thermostat/temperature swings
- compressor start-relay and overload failures
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before you call anyone, 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. Should that not clear it, 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.
