My commercial cooler has stopped cooling for no reason. Everything is still working and running but it doesnt cool. Once in a while it will also make an audible 'pop' noise. Its coming from below the unit. I opened it up and it all looks fine and clean, theres no build up or frozen over. Any suggestions?
That POP noise sounds as though it is the overload on the compressor. Although personally I would describe it as a CLICK. If it is then you are either looking at a start device failure (relay or capacitor) or more likely a compressor failure. If you check underneath at the compressor side (black circular unit) and put your hand on the compressor if it is hot you are probably looking at a new compressor. Unless you have electrics for the compressor the only real solution is to have this confirmed by a fridge engineer. If it is the relay I would expect a bill of around £80 if it is the compressor thn it can be between £200-£400 depending on the size of the compressor. Hope this is of some help.
