Why your Continental Refrigeration refrigerated prep table is compressor failure

On a Continental Refrigeration refrigerated prep table, compressor failure usually announces itself like this: 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

  • A seized compressor
  • Refrigerant charge loss
  • Failed start relay or capacitor
  • A contaminated sealed system
  • An electrical short in the windings

Known Continental Refrigeration refrigerated prep table weak points

  • defrost-board failure that stops the evaporator fans while the compressor still runs
  • cracked or torn door gaskets letting warm air in and overworking the compressor
  • compressor overheating from a dirty condenser or insufficient clearance
  • thermostat malfunction causing the compressor to run constantly

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. If that doesn't fix 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.

How we fix it

OEM parts are available through Continental's distributor network; sealed-system and refrigerant repairs require an experienced technician.

The Continental Refrigeration refrigerated prep table died mid-week and they had it sorted before I'd even rearranged my schedule. The diagnostic fee came off the repair total, just like they promised.
