Why your Foster Refrigerator walk-in cooler is compressor failure

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, 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.
