Why your refrigerated prep table is compressor failure

The first things owners spot when a refrigerated prep table starts compressor failure: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. Across the brands we service, it's most often a seized compressor. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

  • An electrical short in the windings
  • Refrigerant charge loss
  • A contaminated sealed system
  • A seized compressor

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

Worth checking yourself first: check the breaker hasn't tripped and the unit's overload protector hasn't kicked out, since both can look like a dead compressor. If it's still acting up after that, 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.

How we fix it

First we diagnose the refrigerated prep table end to end, so you're not paying to swap parts on a guess. Whatever the brand, we stock the parts that fail most on a refrigerated prep table and fit them on the spot. Most compressor failure jobs finish same-day, at a flat price, under our warranty.
