Recently moved my refrigerator out to the garage as a backup fridge and it has always worked great minus the icemaker. I plugged it in and went to check on it this morning and it is still hot. Fan is working, compressor is hot, and i hear a click, then like 20 to 30 seconds later another click, what does this sound like the problem might be?
Its possible that it is the start relay.
Take the back off, on the side of the compressor is a box that plugs into the compressor. unplug the wires that run to it and pull the box off. Shake it, if it rattles its bad, and you can get a replacement on this site. I had the exact problem, click…click. Ordered the part on Wednesday and it was at my house on Saturday. Put the new one on and it works again. Unplug your unit before doing this.
