Ignis Compressor Start Failure

Clicking sound from the rear; compressor tries to start but shuts off repeatedly; 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, Failed start relay, Overload protector tripping, Low supply voltage

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before accessing the compressor.

Check voltage: Ensure the outlet provides correct voltage and is not shared with heavy loads.
Replace start device: Remove and inspect the compressor start relay and overload. Replace with the correct Ignis kit if suspect.

If the compressor still fails to start with a new relay, the compressor may be mechanically locked and requires professional replacement.
