condenser feels warm when plugged in but does not come on. fan is fine. i do hear a clicking sound when i plug it in, probably every 5 or so minutes and it's a double clicking sound about a couple seconds apart
The condenser you are referring to could be the compressor. If it is clicking, that means it can not start. Let it cool for a while, unplug the unit. You may need to replace the starting components at the side of the compressor. This could be faulty. But if after replacing it, the compressor would still not start, then you have a bad compressor.
Check also the front lower grill, remove it and check the condenser if it is dirty. This is another cause of hard starting compressor.

I want to remove the Cover to access the cube or crushed switch. How is the Recess cover held on? Should I just 'pop' it off? What are the chances of it breaking? I have a Kenmore side-by-side, model 363.9517711 and I can not get it to crush ice. I get cubed ice, but not crushed. I want to see if the switch is connected but I am having a problem figuring out how to remove the access cover on the (inside freezer) door.

My Kenmore Ice maker produces Ice just fine, but I end up getting a big clump of stuck together ice in the Ice Tray. all of the food seems fine. I have watched the water fill cycle and it dosen't look like it is overfilling or splashing out. I am thinking that it may have something to do with the Defrost cycle. Any suggestions for trouble shooting this problem? Thanks!
