Coldtech CFD1R Stainless Steel Refrigerator Questions & Answers
Fridge temp is high, there'a a clicking
If the sound you are hearing is a noise like the old clickers we used to hold in our hands, it is probably the overload. If so, doubt you might get it fixed by Friday. The sound is probably the Klixon overload and it "clicks" to open the circuit because too much current is being drawn. Reasons for this:
1) Compressor is locked and is pulling LRA locked rotor current.
2) Starting mechanism is not operating correctly. (better this than locked pump)
Starting relay is probably solid state and changing this may fix the problem. But, further testing is going to be necessary.
Sorry, but it is not going to be something you can easily do.
If the clicking is something different, like the defrost timer. Easy fix.
However, I am afraid you have something more serious. Warranty should handle any of this. Compressor should have a 5 yr. warranty. But that does not help getting it going right away.
Evaporators fans will not come on in my coldtech freezer..help!!
They work on a temperature switch, when the evaperator gets cold enough the switch closes and the fans will come on. They will also turn off during defrost so the product. Does not melt. If they never come on and the coil is icing up I would look at the switch as being faulty. It will be located on the piping on the side of the evaperator. Replace the switch and problems solved.
Good luck

Russell Hobbs Fridge not working?
Humming is a classic sign that the start / run capacitor for the compressor has failed. Call for service, have it checked for gas and condenser cleaned.
