Refrigerator not cooling but interior lights and fans run; compressor is not running or only clicks.

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

• Listen for sounds: A repeating click every few minutes from the compressor area suggests a start problem.
• Inspect start device: Remove the start relay/overload from the compressor terminals and check for burn marks or rattling pieces. Replace with the correct Electrolux start device if damaged.
• Test compressor windings: Using a multimeter, measure resistance between compressor terminals. Infinite or shorted readings indicate a failed compressor.
• Inverter models: If equipped with an inverter, inspect it for damage and consider professional diagnosis, as high-voltage testing is required.
