Why your Foster Refrigerator blast chiller is compressor failure
Here's how compressor failure typically presents on a Foster Refrigerator blast chiller: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. The usual culprit is refrigerant charge loss. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes

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. 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.
