Why your Continental Refrigeration refrigerated prep table is compressor failure

Here's how compressor failure typically presents on a Continental Refrigeration refrigerated prep table: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. More often than not it traces back to an electrical short in the windings. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

  • Failed start relay or capacitor
  • An overheated overload protector
  • Refrigerant charge loss
  • An electrical short in the windings
  • A contaminated sealed system

Known Continental Refrigeration refrigerated prep table weak points

  • defrost-board failure that stops the evaporator fans while the compressor still runs
  • cracked or torn door gaskets letting warm air in and overworking the compressor
  • compressor overheating from a dirty condenser or insufficient clearance
  • thermostat malfunction causing the compressor to run constantly

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

One thing you can rule out on your own: listen for a hum with no start, or a repeated clicking sound, and confirm the unit is actually getting power. Once you've ruled that out, 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.

How we fix it

OEM parts are available through Continental's distributor network; sealed-system and refrigerant repairs require an experienced technician. Most compressor failure jobs finish same-day, at a flat price, under our warranty.

Called late at night and a tech was here by mid-morning to look at the Continental Refrigeration refrigerated prep table. Stood behind the warranty and used a real Continental Refrigeration OEM part, not a knockoff.
