Makes weird noises, one month ago would first click then hum and then start up, always kept food cold. Replaced relay after watching YouTube videos, noises went away for couple weeks. Now doing same thing as it did in beginning " click n pause then hum" n eventually start up. Still keeps food cold no problems there. What’s going on n what should I repair to fix this?
Help anyone?

See the attachment for the tech sheet
Sounds like the compressor may be on it’s last legs.
You could try replacing the capacitor.
There is not a good way to check it yourself so it is a replace it and see what happens device.
Note that it is unusual to have them go bad but does happen.
You could check the compressor windings, see the tech sheet for the resistances. Also be sure to check all pins to the ground, they should all be infinite ohms.
Note that a resistance test can tell you if a compressor is bad. It does not tell you that the compressor is good as it could have other internal problems.
The below may help you.
