Why won't my BICOLD WBA compressor start?
- BBenjamin SuttonAug 17, 2025
The compressor might fail to start due to several reasons. The microprocessor board could be in alarm status, requiring you to identify the alarm and take action. There might be no power because the main door lock breaker switch is open, so you should close it. The overload protection might have tripped; in this case, reset the protection and check the unit on start-up. Other potential causes include no cooling demand, a working set-point programmed too high, faulty contactors (which should be renewed or repaired), or a compressor motor fault (check for a short circuit).
