Why your Traulsen refrigerated display case is compressor failure
The first things owners spot on a compressor failure Traulsen refrigerated display case: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related.

Most likely causes
- A seized compressor
- A contaminated sealed system
- An overheated overload protector
- Refrigerant charge loss
- An electrical short in the windings
Known Traulsen refrigerated display case weak points
- door hinge and gasket wear on heavy stainless doors
- evaporator icing and defrost heater/timer failures
- electronic controller (Intela-Traul/legacy) faults
- condenser fan motor and dirty condenser causing temperature rise
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. Also, check the breaker hasn't tripped and the unit's overload protector hasn't kicked out, since both can look like a dead compressor. When that isn't the fix, 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.
