Cold Room Compressor Fault
A compressor fault can mean anything from a failed contactor to a mechanically seized compressor. Correct diagnosis prevents replacing a compressor that only needed a $20 part.
- [01]Compressor not starting
- [02]Humming but not running
- [03]Tripping on overload
- [04]Unusual noise
- [01]Contactor failure
- [02]Start or run capacitor failure
- [03]Overload trip
- [04]Refrigerant floodback damaging valves
- [05]Mechanical seizure
We test electrical supply, contactor, capacitors, winding resistance and insulation, then system pressures, before assessing the compressor itself.
Electrical faults are repaired on the spot; mechanical compressor failure requires replacement — and we diagnose the underlying cause to protect the new compressor.
