Why your walk-in cooler is compressor failure
Here's how compressor failure typically presents on a walk-in cooler: 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
- Refrigerant charge loss
- An electrical short in the windings
- An overheated overload protector
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. If it's still acting up after that, 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.
