Why your refrigerator is compressor failure
The first things owners spot when a refrigerator starts compressor failure: compressor clicks on then stops, or won't start. Often refrigerant or start relay related. The usual culprit is a seized compressor. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
Most likely causes
- Failed start relay or capacitor
- Refrigerant charge loss
- A seized compressor
- A contaminated sealed system
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Before you call anyone, 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. 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.
