Why your Follett ice machine is compressor failure
When a Follett ice machine 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 a seized compressor. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- Failed start relay or capacitor
- An electrical short in the windings
- An overheated overload protector
- A contaminated sealed system
Known Follett ice machine weak points
- Auger and gearbox wear on the nugget-ice compression system
- Reduced or slow ice output from scale buildup in the water system
- Dispenser agitation and vend-motor faults causing jams or no dispense
- Bearing and seal wear requiring periodic rebuild of the ice-making head
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
The one self-check that's actually worth your time: check the breaker hasn't tripped and the unit's overload protector hasn't kicked out, since both can look like a dead compressor. Should that not clear it, 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.
