Why your Continental Refrigeration commercial refrigerator is compressor failure

When a Continental Refrigeration commercial refrigerator 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. Nine times out of ten it comes down to an overheated overload protector. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

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

Known Continental Refrigeration commercial refrigerator 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: listen for a hum with no start, or a repeated clicking sound, and confirm the unit is actually getting power. When that isn't the fix, 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 Continental Refrigeration commercial refrigerator end to end, so you're not paying to swap parts on a guess. OEM parts are available through Continental's distributor network; sealed-system and refrigerant repairs require an experienced technician. Most compressor failure jobs finish same-day, at a flat price, under our warranty.
