Clicking sound from compressor area, compressor tries to start but shuts off repeatedly, no ice produced.

Safety first: Unplug the unit immediately if you hear repeated clicking to prevent further damage.

Checks:

• Verify voltage: Ensure the ice maker is connected directly to a proper mains outlet, not a long extension cord or overloaded power strip.
• Cool-down: Allow the unit to sit unplugged for at least 30 minutes, then try again. Overheating can temporarily trip the overload.

Technician tasks: If the clicking persists, the PTC starter or overload protector on the compressor should be tested and replaced if faulty. A seized compressor will require professional replacement or may render the unit uneconomical to repair.
