Why your refrigerated display case is compressor failure
A refrigerated display case that is compressor failure tends to show the same signs, whatever the brand: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. Nine times out of ten it comes down to failed start relay or capacitor. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- Refrigerant charge loss
- A seized compressor
- An electrical short in the windings
- A contaminated sealed system
- Failed start relay or capacitor
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. 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.
