Why your refrigerated display case is compressor failure

A refrigerated display case that is compressor failure tends to show the same signs, whatever the brand: 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

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

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the easy cause: listen for a hum with no start, or a repeated clicking sound, and confirm the unit is actually getting power. Past that point, 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

We start with a full diagnostic on the refrigerated display case, confirm the real fault, then price it flat. Whatever the brand, we stock the parts that fail most on a refrigerated display case and fit them on the spot. You approve a flat price up front, and the work is backed by our labour and parts warranty.

The refrigerated display case broke right before the weekend and they still came out same-day. Fair price, no surprise fees, and the refrigerated display case has worked perfectly since.

Two other shops couldn't fit us in — these guys fixed the refrigerated display case the same day. Flat price agreed up front, and they stood behind the labour warranty.

Called late at night and a tech was here by mid-morning to look at the refrigerated display case. No runaround — they told me honestly what it needed and fixed just that.
