Clicking noise from the rear and compressor repeatedly tries to start but fails

Safety: Unplug the cooler before touching the compressor or electrical components. The compressor can be very hot.

• Improve ventilation: Ensure adequate clearance around the cooler and clean dust from the condenser area.
• Check supply voltage: Use a multimeter to confirm proper voltage at the outlet. Avoid long, thin extension cords.
• Inspect start relay: Remove the start relay/overload from the compressor. If it smells burnt, rattles, or shows heat damage, replace it with a Danby-approved part.
• Test after replacement: Reinstall the new relay, restore power, and listen. If the compressor starts and runs smoothly, monitor cooling performance.
• Compressor issue: If the compressor still fails to start or overheats quickly, the compressor itself may be failing and will require professional replacement.
