What to do if my Hussmann Merchandiser compressor will not start and cuts out on overload?

  Wendy RushAug 12, 2025
  If your Hussmann Merchandiser compressor won't start and cuts out on overload, there could be several reasons. First, ensure the cabinet voltage isn't more than 5% below the rating. Other potential causes include a defective compressor or relay (in which case, consider replacing them). Also, check for restrictions like a pinched cap tube (repair or replace if needed) or moisture (leak check, replace drier, evacuate and recharge). A blocked condenser due to dust and dirt can also cause this issue, so clean the condenser. Finally, a defective condenser fan motor could be the culprit, so consider replacing it.

How to fix warm storage temperature in Hussmann Merchandiser?

  If you're experiencing a warm storage temperature in your Hussmann Merchandiser, start by resetting the temperature control, rotating the knob clockwise. A short of refrigerant could also be the cause, requiring a leak check, replacement of the drier, evacuation, and recharge. The cabinet location might be too warm, so move it to a cooler spot or address any excessive heat sources. An overcharge of refrigerant could be the problem; in this case, purge the system, evacuate, and recharge. Lastly, low voltage causing the compressor to cycle on overload can lead to this issue, so ensure the compressor voltage isn't more than 5% below the rating.

Why is my Hussmann Merchandiser compressor running continuously and the product is too warm?

  If your Hussmann Merchandiser compressor is running continuously and the product is too warm, it could be due to a short of refrigerant, requiring a leak check, drier replacement, evacuation, and recharge. Alternatively, the compressor might be inefficient and need replacement. Another potential cause is the coil being iced up, in which case you should force a manual defrost.

  If your Hussmann Merchandiser compressor isn't starting (no noise), first check the service cord or wiring connection to ensure power is connected. A blown fuse or breaker could also be the cause, so replace the fuse or reset the breaker. Defective or broken wiring can prevent the compressor from starting, so repair or replace any faulty wiring. Additionally, a defective overload or temperature control could be the issue, requiring replacement.

What causes condensation in a Hussmann Merchandiser?
- R
  Robert RodriguezAug 31, 2025
  Condensation in a Hussmann Merchandiser can be caused by the store's temperature or humidity being outside proper operating conditions, so check the case location. Insufficient air circulation can also contribute, so check the operation of fans and wiring. A hampered air curtain could be another reason; check electrical connections and ensure the air curtain is working properly.

Why is my Hussmann Merchandiser compressor running continuously and the product is too cold?
- K
  Kevin WheelerSep 4, 2025
  If the compressor in your Hussmann Merchandiser runs continuously, causing the product to be too cold, it could be due to a defective control, which would need replacement. Another possibility is that the control sensing element isn't making good contact; ensure proper contact. A short of refrigerant could also cause this issue; in such case leak check, replace drier, evacuate and recharge.

How to fix water leaks and unpleasant odors in Hussmann Merchandiser?
- J
  Jenna SosaSep 7, 2025
  If you're experiencing water leaks and unpleasant odors from your Hussmann Merchandiser, it could be due to obstructed or damaged case drains; release the drains. The water collection tray might be sealed incorrectly; repair or replace the drains and seal the piping properly. If the water collection tray overflows, check the evaporation heater wiring and the operation of the evaporation heater.
