Why your refrigerator is compressor failure

A refrigerator 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. More often than not it traces back to an electrical short in the windings. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.

Most likely causes

  • Failed start relay or capacitor
  • A contaminated sealed system
  • A seized compressor
  • Refrigerant charge loss

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. Past that point, 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.

How we fix it

An experienced tech tests the refrigerator systematically and pinpoints what's actually causing the compressor failure. Genuine OEM parts for all major refrigerator brands ride on the truck, so the fix usually happens the same day. You approve a flat price up front, and the work is backed by our labour and parts warranty.

The refrigerator broke right before the weekend and they still came out same-day. No runaround — they told me honestly what it needed and fixed just that.

Two other shops couldn't fit us in — these guys fixed the refrigerator the same day. Clean, on-time, and they took the old part with them. Would call again.

They squeezed our refrigerator in on a busy day and still showed up inside the window. Fair price, no surprise fees, and the refrigerator has worked perfectly since.
