Blast Chiller Compressor Failure in Yulee, FL

Why your blast chiller is compressor failure

Here's how compressor failure typically presents on a blast chiller: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. One possible cause is refrigerant charge loss. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

• Failed start relay or capacitor
• A seized compressor
• A contaminated sealed system
• An overheated overload protector
• Refrigerant charge loss

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

The one self-check that's actually worth your time: 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. If that doesn't fix 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.
