Symptoms
What you may be observing
Unit not running at all or only clicking
No cooling, cabinet warming rapidly
Electrical burning smell near the condensing unit
Tripped breaker that resets then trips again
Possible Causes
Diagnosed on site by our technicians
- C01
Electrical fault or failed start components
- C02
Refrigerant overcharge stressing the pump
- C03
System contamination from a burn-out
- C04
Overheating from poor ventilation or dirty condenser
The Reyds Solution
We isolate the failure, recover refrigerant legally, flush the system if contamination is present, and install a correctly rated replacement compressor — then pressure-test, evacuate, and recharge to specification.
Industry context
Food Factories
For food factories, refrigeration reliability is a commercial requirement rather than a convenience. Process-scale refrigeration underpinning production lines. We keep the parts and refrigerant these failures usually need on the van.

Prevention
Stop the fault returning
Book a service check ahead of peak trading so the freezer room under the heaviest load is not the one that fails.
Keep a documented escalation path for temperature alarms so compressor failure is answered in minutes, not noticed at close.
Schedule quarterly preventative maintenance on your freezer room to catch wear before it becomes compressor failure.
Keep condenser fins clean and airflow clear — the leading preventable cause of compressor failure in food factories cold chains.
