Why your refrigerator is compressor failure
The refrigerator shows it plainly enough: 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
- 01A short developing in the windings
- 02A start relay or capacitor that's failed
- 03A compressor that's physically seized
- 04Refrigerant charge lost over time
Quick checks worth doing
The one self-check actually worth your time: check the breaker and the unit's own overload protector, since a tripped protector can look identical to a dead compressor. And listen for a hum with no start, or a repeated clicking, and confirm the unit's actually getting power. If you want a firmer read on it, feel whether the air coming off the condenser is hot or barely warm — barely warm means it is not rejecting heat. Once that's ruled out, telling a seized compressor from a tripped protector needs an amp reading, and the swap itself means recovering and recharging refrigerant safely.
A trained tech works through the refrigerator systematically to pin down what's really causing the compressor failure. Compressor failure has more than one possible cause, and telling them apart is what the on-site diagnosis is for.
What Ponte Vedra's climate does to a refrigerator
Ask a Ponte Vedra technician what shortens a refrigerator's service life here, and heat and humidity top the list. Salt-laden air pits the condenser fins first, which drops heat rejection and leaves the compressor carrying more load in the same ambient temperature. That is why a Ponte Vedra technician checks the environmental wear first and the reported fault second.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
When is a replacement the better call?
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.
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.
Do you use OEM parts?
OEM wherever the repair calls for it. If a part is no longer produced for your model, you hear that up front rather than after the invoice.
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.
