Why your refrigerated prep table is compressor failure

A refrigerated prep table that is compressor failure tends to show the same signs, whatever the brand: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. Across the brands we service, it's most often failed start relay or capacitor. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

  • Failed start relay or capacitor
  • A contaminated sealed system
  • Refrigerant charge loss
  • A seized compressor
  • An electrical short in the windings

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

Do this first — it takes two minutes: 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 none of that changes anything, 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.

The refrigerated prep table died mid-week and they had it sorted before I'd even rearranged my schedule. Genuine parts, done in one trip, and the invoice matched the quote.
