Possible Causes
Weak PTC start relay, Faulty overload protector, Locked rotor in compressor, Low supply voltage
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing the compressor area.
Steps:
- Check voltage: Ensure the outlet provides correct voltage and is not shared with heavy loads causing drops.
- Inspect start components: Remove the compressor terminal cover and examine the PTC relay and overload for burn marks or deformation.
- Replace PTC and overload: Install new compressor start relay and overload protector matched to the BODEGA43 compressor model.
If the compressor still only clicks and does not start, the compressor may be mechanically locked and will require professional replacement.
