Why your Foster Refrigerator refrigerated display case is compressor failure

When a Foster Refrigerator refrigerated display case is compressor failure, here's what you'll usually notice: 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

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

Known Foster Refrigerator refrigerated display case weak points

  • condenser coils clogging with dust causing warm boxes
  • evaporator fan and defrost heater failures
  • door gasket and hinge wear
  • electronic controller faults

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

Before you call anyone, 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.
