Why your refrigerator is compressor failure
Compressor failure on a refrigerator usually announces itself like this: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. Diagnostic checks may include an overheated overload protector. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- Refrigerant charge loss
- Failed start relay or capacitor
- A contaminated sealed system
- An electrical short in the windings
- A seized compressor
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
One thing you can rule out on your own: 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. When that isn't the fix, 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.
