Why your Krowne back bar cooler is compressor failure
Here's how compressor failure typically presents on a Krowne back bar cooler: 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 electrical short in the windings. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- A contaminated sealed system
- An overheated overload protector
- Refrigerant charge loss
- A seized compressor
- An electrical short in the windings
Known Krowne back bar cooler weak points
- condenser coils clogging with bar dust causing warm boxes
- door gasket wear and hinge sag on back-bar coolers
- glass-washer/rinser pump and spray faults
- drain and fill valve issues from hard water scaling
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, 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.
