Clicking noise from the rear of the wine cooler every few minutes; compressor attempts to start but stops.

Safety: Unplug the unit before touching compressor components.

Steps:

• 1. Clean condenser: Vacuum and brush dust from the condenser coil and rear grille to improve cooling of the compressor.
• 2. Ensure ventilation: Provide adequate clearance around the unit as per La Sommeliere installation instructions.
• 3. Check supply voltage: Avoid extension cords; plug directly into a dedicated outlet. If possible, measure voltage to ensure it is within specification.
• 4. Replace start relay/overload: Follow the earlier compressor start fault steps to inspect and replace the compressor start relay and overload protector.
• 5. Monitor: After replacement, observe whether the compressor runs continuously and cooling improves. If clicking persists, the compressor may be failing internally and require professional replacement.
