Why your Arctic Air back bar cooler is compressor failure
A Arctic Air back bar cooler that is compressor failure tends to show the same signs: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. On this platform it's most often failed start relay or capacitor. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- An electrical short in the windings
- Refrigerant charge loss
- An overheated overload protector
- Failed start relay or capacitor
Known Arctic Air back bar cooler weak points
- condenser and evaporator fan-motor failures
- door gasket and self-closing hinge wear
- thermostat/temperature swings
- compressor start-relay and overload failures
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. 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.
