Why your refrigerator is compressor failure
Here's how compressor failure typically presents on a refrigerator: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. Nine times out of ten it comes down to refrigerant charge loss. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- An electrical short in the windings
- Refrigerant charge loss
- A seized compressor
- A contaminated sealed system
- Failed start relay or capacitor
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.
