How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before removing any covers.

Step-by-step:

Determine if normal: Occasional clicks as the compressor or defrost cycle starts/stops are normal. Rapid, repeated clicking is not.
Check power supply: Ensure the outlet is stable and not shared with high-draw appliances.
Monitor performance: If cooling is normal and clicks are infrequent, no action may be needed.
Investigate further: If cooling is poor and clicking is frequent, the control board or compressor circuit may be failing and should be inspected by a technician.

Note: Do not attempt to repair relays on the PCB yourself; the board should be replaced as a unit.

Clicking or ticking noise from the control panel or rear electronics area.
