Fridge started clicking a couple of days ago, noticed that it maybe wasn't cooling as well as it should be. today confirmed that it was warming up so pulled all of the food out and started troubleshooting. relay on the main pcb is clicking, compressor not coming on. stops clicking if you press the ice/water dispenser lever. compressor comes on if I disconnect the lower middle connector from the upper portion of the pcb, but looks like the fans aren't working inside the fridge to circulate air.
looking inside the freezer when relay clicks, the fan bumps a little but doesn't start spinning.
front panel water doesn't work either, but that's small potatoes if the whole fridge is borked.
My dad opened the freezer pannel in the back of freezer inside the fridge and when it clicks we hand spin the cooling fan right on the click and it picks up and runs i believe this could be a result from iether a magnet from cooling fan casing may be crack'd or somthing to do with the bushings
First of all Give me model# and Serial#.
you will most likely have to replace main control board and evaporator fan motor. They have had a service bulletin out on this problem.

Clicking and the motor will not run
clicking in back of refrigerator fan will not come on. water and ice despinser
will not dispense and light goes dim. sounds like hotpoint has a continueing issue from what i have read. Any advice or comments?
My hotpoint HSS25GFP started not making water, but the icemaker was fine. Then it started clicking, food was starting to warm up. I noticed the fan would bump with each click, but not kick on. I called a local appliance tech who came out and said it was the "motherboard". The piece is being ordered on Monday February 18,2008. I was given an estimate price of $450.00 and up. The frige is only three years old.

Same problem. Started with the ice & water dispenser not working, front lights would dim, then fridge started clicking. Might have started after a momentary power drop (less than a second, not long enough for clocks to reset). At first could 'reset' by turning fridge off and back on, now it just clicks, from relay on 'motherboard.'
My freezer stopped freezing. I unplugged, cleaned it and tried again. Both red and green lights are on, the motor runs ... still not working.
model # HSS25GFPJWW

clicking from front pcb changed front and rear pcbs now compresser runs but is not cooling
Lights are one, fan inside fridge is running. Condenser fan wasn't running (Unknown duration), but is now with a little oil. But otherwise can't hear the compressor start up and don't hear any clicking that relays or solenoids usually make.
