Why your Krowne back bar cooler is compressor failure
The first things owners spot on a compressor failure Krowne back bar cooler: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. Nine times out of ten it comes down to an overheated overload protector. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- Failed start relay or capacitor
- An electrical short in the windings
- Refrigerant charge loss
Known Krowne back bar cooler weak points
- condenser coils clogging with bar dust causing warm boxes
- door gasket wear and hinge sag on back-bar coolers
- glass-washer/rinser pump and spray faults
- drain and fill valve issues from hard water scaling
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the easy cause: check the breaker hasn't tripped and the unit's overload protector hasn't kicked out, since both can look like a dead compressor. 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.
