Why your Perlick beer dispenser & draft system is compressor failure

On a Perlick beer dispenser & draft system, 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 an overheated overload protector.

Most likely causes

  • A contaminated sealed system
  • An electrical short in the windings
  • Refrigerant charge loss

Known Perlick beer dispenser & draft system weak points

  • condenser coils clogging with bar dust and lint
  • door gasket wear and hinge sag on reach-under boxes
  • beer faucet and shank seal leaks
  • glycol power-pack / circulation pump faults on remote systems

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

The one self-check that's actually worth your time: listen for a hum with no start, or a repeated clicking sound, and confirm the unit is actually getting power. Once you've ruled that out, 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

First we diagnose the Perlick beer dispenser & draft system end to end, so you're not paying to swap parts on a guess. OEM parts widely available through Perlick and bar-equipment distributors; sealed-system refrigerant repairs requires an experienced technician. Most compressor failure jobs finish same-day, at a flat price, under our warranty.
