Wine Enthusiast wine cooler makes a clicking sound every few minutes but does not cool.

Safety: Unplug the unit before touching compressor components.

• Check supply voltage: Use a multimeter to verify the outlet provides stable voltage within the specified range.
• Inspect start relay and overload: Remove and test these components for continuity and signs of overheating. Replace if defective.
• Allow compressor to cool: If the compressor is very hot, let it cool for an hour before retrying. Persistent clicking after cooling suggests internal compressor issues.
• Evaluate compressor: If new start components do not resolve the clicking and no cooling occurs, the compressor is likely locked and requires professional replacement.
