GE refridge temp control makes clicking noise

Could require re gassing.
I would call a refrigeration company.

sounds like compressor

controls inop.? replace main control. is compressor running and controls responsive? then check for defrost problem. comp ok but no frost either then sealed system problem.

Hi,

First of all, the clicking noise could be the overload relay on the compressor. Secondly, the temperatures have me concerned for they should not be in the negative number. Verify the compressor issue first, put your hand on the compressor, check to see if its running or if its warm to the touch.
I also need a model number to direct you further to parts and other issues.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gere_bf68e6055dd61249

the clicking noise may be coming from the start and oveer load relay on the compressor shut the unit down until the compressor is cool replace the over load and start relay on the compressor.

if you have a clamp type power metercheck the current draw on the compressor it should be between 1.2-1.6 amps during a running load.

I just used the link above to get the Manuals on your LG. On page 31, they did the following CYA statements...

The defrost timer will click when the automatic defrost cycle begins and ends. The thermostat control (or refrigerator control, depending on the model) will also click when cycling on and off. Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator .
Your refrigerator is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired temperature. The high efficiency compressor may cause your new refrigerator to run longer than your old one, and
you may hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating the air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your refrigerator.
Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a popping noise.
Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

I bolded the statement. Sounds like you are going to have to get used to the sound.

These Ge Zonelines have and ambiant Temp control on the unit when the temp drops it drops out the compressor and goes to electric heat. This keeps the unit from getting iced up. They do go bad and sometimes they shut off to soon. I just replace them and everything goes back to normal. They are located on the outside part of the unit. Just slide out the unit and it is located I beleive on the right side of unit Rus.

The compressor never runs out of freon - unless you have a leak somewhere, which is rare - and besides, your compressor motor would be still running but you would not get cooling - the most common problem associated with this is control board failure, so compressor does not start at all. Try unplugging the refrigerator for a few minutes and plug in again - see if this resets the control board - if problem persists or comes back you will need to call service and have them check the control board.

Before doing so, try unplugging and plugging back in after a few minutes, it might get things started again - if you have a manual knob for your cold control try setting the dial to off, then turn it back on all the way until you hear a "click" sound to confirm your thermostat is working properly - if you hear the clicking on the thermostat area, but compressor motor does not come on, call service.

either its not getting its juice or the relay is bad doubt it could be the compressor but it does happen

Replace the main board on the back my was about a $130 at a wholesale parts store and i put it in
