Perlick Back Bar Cooler Compressor Failure in Lakeside, FL
Compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. We fix this on Perlick back bar coolers across Lakeside. You get a two-hour arrival window, not a vague 'sometime today'.
Why your Perlick back bar cooler is compressor failure
When a Perlick 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 an overheated overload protector. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- Failed start relay or capacitor
- A contaminated sealed system
- An electrical short in the windings
Known Perlick back bar cooler 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
One thing you can rule out on your own: 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.
