I would say that the motor is humming because it is not turning and the click is when the overload control switches the power off. It may be a start run capacitor blown out but it may be a seized compressor motor. have a fridge mechanic check it out.

SOURCE: clicking near compressor but doesnt

since your mini fridge is under warranty, have a technician come and take a look at it. i would say it's the damper.

Hello
Number 1 may be the warmest.Set it to 2 or 3 and give it some time,a couple of hours to level out.

If this does not work try a higher number.

If still no luck then the thermostat or sensing bulb is bad and should be replaced.

Haier HSW02C runs ALL the time

Yes your thermostat is shorted. It's just not shutting the unit off ever. A thermostat is something you can touch as a user, so no it's not that hard to get to for replacement. Also have the unit unplugged while learning how to repair your appliance.

My Haier mini fridge (model # HSW02C) is freezing everything in it's contents no matter what number setting (1-7) it's on. Is 1 supposed to be the coldest setting, or is 7? What should I do?

Haier mini fridge model hswo2c not working

on its side? considering the chemicals inside the freezing elements, it needs to sit upright for 24 hours before you plug it in, or you may break it. so if thats what you mean, why is it sideways?

Frige gets hot and makes clicking noises.

Sounds like the compressor is not working very well the clicking is the compressor starter trying to start the compressor. May be low on freon or bad compressor. You can probaly buy one cheaper than fixing this one

Unit stopped cooling

the click and hum your hearing is most likely the compressor trying to start. the most common problem is a bad start relay on the compressor. in rare cases the compressor may be bad. if you are mechanicly inclined youc an replace the relay yourself for less than 50 dollars. you will need model and serial number off of the unit and order the part by those numbers. if the compressor is bad you will need to hire a good service company. good luck Peyton
