Why your refrigerated prep table is compressor failure

Compressor failure on a refrigerated prep table usually announces itself like this: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. The usual culprit is an electrical short in the windings. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

  • A seized compressor
  • An overheated overload protector
  • An electrical short in the windings
  • Failed start relay or capacitor
  • Refrigerant charge loss

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 that doesn't fix it, 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.

How we fix it

We start with a full diagnostic on the refrigerated prep table, confirm the real fault, then price it flat. Genuine OEM parts for all major refrigerated prep table brands ride on the truck, so the fix usually happens the same day. Most compressor failure jobs finish same-day, at a flat price, under our warranty.

Two other shops couldn't fit us in — these guys fixed the refrigerated prep table the same day. Clean, on-time, and they took the old part with them. Would call again.

The refrigerated prep table broke right before the weekend and they still came out same-day. No runaround — they told me honestly what it needed and fixed just that.

No waiting around — the refrigerated prep table was diagnosed within an hour of the tech arriving. Flat price agreed up front, and they stood behind the labour warranty.
