Blomberg Compressor Start Failure

Clicking noise every few minutes, compressor tries to start but shuts off quickly, no cooling.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed start relay or PTC, Weak compressor, Low voltage supply, Overheating compressor overload

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

Start device check:

Remove the cover on the compressor terminals.
Inspect the start relay/overload for burn marks or rattling pieces.
Replacing the start device with the correct part often resolves this symptom if the compressor is still good.

Note: If a new start device does not fix the issue, the compressor is likely failing internally and will require professional replacement.
