Why your True cooler stopped cooling

‍

One of our Fort Myers restaurant clients reached out after their True commercial cooler began losing temperature. The fans were running, but the compressor wasn’t kicking in properly. That meant something was wrong in the electrical control system — a common issue in high-use coolers.

Diagnosing the electrical problem

‍

Our technician Yurii began by checking voltage, compressor cycling, and control box wiring. Testing revealed a burnt contactor and a weak start capacitor preventing the compressor from starting correctly.

Fixing the issue — and restoring the chill

‍

• Replaced both contactor and capacitor with OEM-rated parts
• Cleaned and tightened all electrical connections
• Verified voltage and amperage
• Ran full cooling cycle — temperature stabilized at 35°F
