Why your Fogel back bar cooler is compressor failure
On a Fogel 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. The usual culprit is an electrical short in the windings. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Quick check — and when it's not DIY
There's one thing worth checking before you book anyone: check the breaker hasn't tripped and the unit's overload protector hasn't kicked out, since both can look like a dead compressor. Past that point, 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.
