A clicking sound is heard repeatedly from the rear of the wine cooler; compressor attempts to start but shuts off quickly.

Safety: Unplug the appliance before touching the compressor or electrical components.

• Check supply voltage: Ensure the outlet provides stable voltage within the range specified by Teka. Avoid using long extension cords.
• Allow cooling: If the compressor is very hot, let the unit sit unplugged for 30–60 minutes to cool down, then try again.
• Inspect and replace start components: Access the compressor start relay/PTC and overload protector. Replace them with a Teka-compatible kit if they show signs of damage or test out of spec.
• Compressor diagnosis: If new start components do not resolve the clicking, the compressor may be failing internally and should be evaluated and replaced by a refrigeration technician.
