The clicking noise like clock coming from refrigerator.--------- If your refrigerator unit is working and still you hear this noise then .First inspect from which section you are getting this noise.--------- The most common location for this noise is from start up capacitor beside the compressor. This capacitor gives power to compressor to get started.When this capacitor fails, it makes ticking noise.The compressor is located towards the back bottom.So hear the noise, is it coming from beside the compressor.IF yes, then capacitor needs to be replaced.Its not very hard to replace this capacitor and its also not a costly part.----------- But if you are not hearing the noise from that section, then other most possible location for this noise is from fan in freezer section.In the freezer section inner panel there is fan.When the ice gets collected on the evaporator coil.Sometimes when over ice gets collected, the fan blade hits the ice and you get some noise.So inspect, if you are getting noise from inner freezer section, and is the noise coming from fan hitting the ice.--------- Then in that case , there is nothing to replace, just defrost your refrigerator, by unplugging it from wall outlet for couple of hours, then reconnect.All ice will melt, and the noise will not come.-------------- But again, if the noise is not coming from that section also, then other possibility is noise coming from mother board.this board has to be replaced.-------- There are relays and IC on the board. When this components gets weak, they make this clicking noise, this noise is indication to replace the board.-------- Te board is a costly part to be replaced.Also the components on the board are mostly not replaceable.-------- Complete board needs to be replaced.---------- -------------- This are the most common places from where this ticking noise can come.And the mentioned parts should be inspected and replaced, as per the troubleshooting and checking done.---------

You can get required parts from from online sites like: --- www.repairclinic.com or from searspartsdirect online site. --------- This should help.Thanks.Helpmech.

Hello: Most likely your door is not closing properly.. The only moisture you can get inside( frost build up)is from outside. I suggest completely defrosting your freezer and examine door mechanism and make sure its closing/sealing properly..( make sure you check your door gasket for any warps or kinks) Good luck

on the back, there is a metal plate on the left side mid lower center the ccm(central control module) is located there

Use a hair dryer to defrost it. Pour a solution of eco safe bleach and hot water down the drain

Hello,

This meas the fan is bad or the control or both. Take the board off the back. Look for a burnt mark if you see one replace the evap and board.

If the motor has 110v it's bad. Make the voltage test with the wires connected, having a load will change the reading. If you changed the motor it does not have the correct power and the main control that is behind the metal plate on the bottom right is bad.

Your thermostat has failed.
You need to fit a new thermostat

Hi,

Many times a freezer and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many other things that can go wrong.

If the fridge is not working properly it's probably the starter relay trying to start the compressor. It's a small electrical part on or near the compressor around at the back behind the cardboard cover. It's cheap and you can replace it yourself. If it's not the problem but it can't start the compressor then you need a tech to look at the compressor.

If the unit is cooling the noise could be from the electronic control which could be on the back in some models and in fridge with the controls in others. A noise from the control usually means it's going bad.

your evaporator coil in the rear area behind the freezer back panel is frozen over with ice and the coil can no longer deliver cold air due to ice blocking the air flow from the evaporator fan,remove this rear panel,defrost it with a hair dryer,check the defrost heating coil for continuity,they go bad regularly,if not the heater coil under the evaporator coil,it may be the defrost timer in the refrigerator section of the unit that powers the defrost coil that needs replacement
