Compressor over load switch is the clicking you here. check the compressor to see if it has a start capacitor if so check to see if it is good. if it dose not have one then check compressor relays make sure there in good working order.
Many times a freezer and/or refrigeratordo not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many otherthings that can go wrong.
If you are hearing a clicking or buzzing thencheck out the last two tips.
If your refrigerator is running but warm, then...
Check out these tips that I wrote about that... it is a great place to starttrouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then callinga repair person to do a simple thing for you...
Yes it is a very big concern.It sounds to me like your condenser is dirty and the compressor gets hot and goes off on overload.You can tell by putting your hand NEAR the compressor.Be careful as the compressor can be very hot
You have one of two problems going on. Your fan is spinning at hitting the sides. Or your compressor is shot which seems to be more the problem and even though it is cold the humming sound is a warning for you that the compressor is shot and it is more affordable to replace the fridge then the compressor. Sometimes compressor can cost more then the fridge.
This is one of those things that i really recommend you call a service tech. it sounds like the compressor is locked up. if the motor starter is sparking then it signals an over voltage to me. either way call a service man from sears. good luck
If you are getting a hum for about 5-10 seconds followed by a click, tht is the compressor short cycling. You may have a bad compressor relay, or the compressor itself could be bad. If the frost your seeing is on the back wall of the fredezer that could indicate a defrost problem.
