Why your Arctic Air back bar cooler is compressor failure
On a Arctic Air back bar cooler, compressor failure usually announces itself like this: 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
- A seized compressor
- Refrigerant charge loss
Known Arctic Air back bar cooler weak points
- condenser and evaporator fan-motor failures
- door gasket and self-closing hinge wear
- thermostat/temperature swings
- compressor start-relay and overload failures
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
The one self-check that's actually worth your time: listen for a hum with no start, or a repeated clicking sound, and confirm the unit is actually getting power. Should that not clear 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.
