How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the compressor area.

Step-by-step:

  • Observe pattern: Briefly plug in and listen. A hum for a few seconds followed by a click, repeating every few minutes, suggests start issues. Then unplug again.
  • Check voltage: Ensure the fridge is on a dedicated, properly wired outlet (no long extension cords).
  • Inspect start device: Remove the start relay/overload from the compressor and check for burn marks or rattling pieces.
  • Replace start device: Install a new, model-specific start relay/overload if the old one appears damaged.

Action: If the problem continues with a new start device, the compressor may be failing and will require professional replacement.
