Refrigerated Prep Table Compressor Failure in St. Augustine, FL
The compressor clicks in, runs for a few seconds, then drops out again — usually a rhythm of three or four attempts a minute — that is the refrigerated prep table reporting something specific, not a vague fault. This one does not wait — product loss or a safety risk starts accruing quickly.

Why your refrigerated prep table is compressor failure
What this looks like on the refrigerated prep table: you get a hum and a click but no start, and the compressor body is hot enough that the overload protector has clearly been cycling.
Causes, in the order we check them
- 01Contamination inside the sealed system
- 02A compressor that's physically seized
- 03A short developing in the windings
Quick checks worth doing
Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the obvious cause: listen for a hum with no start, or a repeated clicking, and confirm the unit's actually getting power. Worth pinning down: check the drain outlet and the pan for standing water or ice, which tells you whether the defrost water is getting out. Should that not resolve it, telling a seized compressor from a tripped protector needs an amp reading, and the swap itself means recovering and recharging refrigerant safely.
First we test the refrigerated prep table end to end, so you're not paying to swap parts on a guess. Whichever of these it turns out to be, the reading taken on site is what decides the part — not the symptom on its own.
What St. Augustine's climate does to a refrigerated prep table
St. Augustine sees long stretches of heat and humidity most of the year — exactly what wears on a refrigerated prep table first. Salt-laden air pits the condenser fins first, which drops heat rejection and leaves the compressor carrying more load in the same ambient temperature. Knowing what St. Augustine's climate does to a refrigerated prep table is part of the job here — we check for it on every visit.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
Are the parts genuine?
Genuine parts where the repair calls for them — and an honest answer when a component is discontinued and the only route is an equivalent.
Will you tell me if it is not worth fixing?
Yes. Some failures cost more to put right than the remaining life of the unit justifies, and a technician who has just measured the fault is the person best placed to tell you which case you are in.
Is the repair covered by a warranty?
You're covered by our 18-month labor warranty and 90-day parts warranty. If the same fault recurs in that period, the follow-up visit is free.
How does the visit work?
The technician confirms the fault on the unit itself — readings taken, not assumed — then explains what failed, why, and what the repair involves before anything is replaced.
