Why your Beverage-Air back bar cooler is compressor failure
The first things owners spot on a compressor failure Beverage-Air back bar cooler: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related.

Most likely causes

Quick check — and when it's not DIY
There's one thing worth checking before you book anyone: listen for a hum with no start, or a repeated clicking sound, and confirm the unit is actually getting power. Beyond that, 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.
