Refrigerated Display Case Compressor Failure in Jacksonville Beach, FL

Why your refrigerated display case is compressor failure

Here's how compressor failure typically presents on a refrigerated display case: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. Possible causes include a seized compressor. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

• An electrical short in the windings
• An overheated overload protector
• Refrigerant charge loss

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

There's one thing worth checking before you book 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. When that isn't the fix, 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.
