I just picked up a Haier HBF05E kegerator 2nd hand. I transported the unit on it's side with the coolant tube facing away from the compressor. Folks at Haier said this would be OK. I let the unit sit for 36 hrs before plugging in. I have had it plugged in overnight and it has not gotten cold. The manual indicates it may take 24 hrs to cool properly. Should I wait longer. I hear the compressor click on and off in quick succession - is that normal?

SOURCE: When plugged in, the compressor never kicks on. It just clicks.

If the compressor is getting hot then the compressor is gone. But the price on a relay is fairly cheap so you can at least try it and if it doesnt work then return it and dump the unit. But like I said before when a compressor gets hot it means that the piston is bad and the rings are burnt and the oil is bad in the compressor.

The click you heard is the thermal overload. This snaps open when the compressor is too hot.
Unplug the unit for 24 hours and don't move it.
Then plug it in and see if it comes back on temp.

By shut down I'm assuming you mean the compressor does not come on. Does your unit use dials or electronic controls ? Try raising the dial to max and see if compressor kicks in - otherwise unplug the fridge for a few minutes and plug it back in to see if it resets - you either have a shot compressor or a faulty control board (faulty control board being more common) followed by stuck defrost timer.

Unplug the unit then turn the thermostat all the way on then all the way off, then slowly move from off to fully on position do you notice a spring popping sound at a certain point? Yes No? if yes turn it all the way off and wait ten minutes then plug back on, notice if the compressor comes on or not. If it does then turn the thermostat to half way on does it cool now? if yes you have the problem solved, if not you have an issue with the defrost circuit and you need tools to test it, if you have an ohm meter let me know and I will help you further. Thanks for using fix-ya

SOURCE: not cooling. Keeps clicking, but not running or getting cold.

Hi,

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 then check out thelast two tips.

If your refrigerator is running but warm, then...

Check out this tip 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...
