Why your back bar cooler is compressor failure

When a back bar cooler is compressor failure, here's what you'll usually notice: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. More often than not it traces back to a seized compressor. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

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

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

Before booking a repair, check the breaker hasn't tripped and the unit's overload protector hasn't kicked out, since both can look like a dead compressor. Also, listen for a hum with no start, or a repeated clicking sound, and confirm the unit is actually getting power. 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.

Our back bar cooler quit on us and they had a technician out the same afternoon in Lakeside. Fair price, no surprise fees, and the back bar cooler has worked perfectly since.

★★★★★
The back bar cooler died mid-week and they had it sorted before I'd even rearranged my schedule. Flat price agreed up front, and they stood behind the labour warranty.

Same-day response — a tech was diagnosing the back bar cooler hours after I called. No runaround — they told me honestly what it needed and fixed just that.
