Avanti ice maker's fan runs but compressor does not start; no cooling occurs.

Safety: Unplug the unit before touching compressor wiring. Capacitors can hold a charge; discharge safely if testing.

Steps:

• 1. Listen for clicking: If you hear a click every few minutes, the overload may be tripping due to failed start components.
• 2. Access compressor terminals: Remove the rear panel and the compressor terminal cover.
• 3. Test start relay and capacitor: Remove and test with a multimeter. Replace any component that is open, shorted, or out of spec.
• 4. Check compressor windings: Measure resistance between compressor terminals. An open winding or direct short to ground indicates a failed compressor requiring professional replacement.
• 5. Inspect control board: If start components and compressor test good, the control board may not be energizing the compressor relay and should be replaced.
