Refrigerated Prep Table Compressor Failure in St. Augustine, FL

Why your refrigerated prep table is compressor failure

Compressor failure on a refrigerated prep table usually announces itself like this: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. The symptom can be consistent with an electrical short in the windings. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

• An electrical short in the windings
• A contaminated sealed system
• An overheated overload protector

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. Also, listen for a hum with no start, or a repeated clicking sound, and confirm the unit is actually getting power. Once you've ruled that out, 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.
