Belling Compressor Short Cycling on Overload

Clicking sound every few minutes; compressor tries to start but stops immediately, freezer not cooling.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Weak compressor start relay/PTC, Failing compressor drawing high current, Low supply voltage, Overheated compressor due to dirty condenser

Safety: Unplug the freezer before accessing the compressor area.

Steps:

1. Clean condenser: Ensure the condenser coil is clean and well ventilated to reduce compressor temperature.
2. Check supply: Plug the freezer directly into a dedicated wall socket.
3. Replace start device: Inspect and replace the compressor start relay/PTC and overload protector with correct Belling parts.
4. Evaluate compressor: If short cycling continues after start device replacement, the compressor may be failing internally and will need professional replacement.
