Possible Causes

Faulty start relay or overload, Seized compressor, Low voltage supply

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

Steps to address clicking:

  • 1. Confirm noise source: Ensure the clicking is from the compressor start device, not from relays on the control board.
  • 2. Replace start relay/overload: Remove the start device from the compressor and install a new Belling-compatible assembly.
  • 3. Test operation: Restore power and listen. If the compressor still fails to start and clicks repeatedly, the compressor may be seized.
  • 4. Professional service: A seized compressor requires replacement by a licensed refrigeration technician.
