Compressor Does Not Seem to Start

My Sanyo BC-1206 is plugged into a normal wall socket and I can hear a periodic click (which I assume means electricity is flowing to the machine), but I never hear the compressor kick on. The fridge stays kind of warm as well. Is there something I can do to see why the compressor never kicks on?

Feel the compressor. if warm then it is being powered up and symptoms point to a compressor fault. it is also possible that the compressor start device is faulty. remove cover over compressor electrics and check for any distressed componants

Sanyo repairs built-in transformer
Most refrigerators draw up to 12 amps on a lock-rotor.. meaning it reached temperature, and turned "off" there needs to be 5 or 10 mins, before the compressor can restart due to hi-pressure inside the condenser . usually you will hear the fan(s) come on, it makes a "click" sound trying to start- that's called a Lock rotor. when People seem to have problems asking about how many Amps. it's because they trip their house breaker. I will assume and respond under that pretext - 1) 15 amps minimum on a dedicated line, means only that item. 2) house breakers weaken over time and will trip - here's how you can tell the difference If your breaker trips the instant you plug in your refrigerator.. 90% probable problem with refrigerator, a short somewhere is causing the breaker to open the circuit . if you plug in, and Refrigs runs for any length of time, and then the breaker trips. The refrigerator is combing it's consumption of Amps, contributing them with something else so together they exceed the rated voltage or you need a new breaker.

do you mean the compressor won't start and you hear a clicking sound every few minutes?if so most likely the start device on the compressor is bad,you have to send the model number off of the machine,if it's a bottom mount or side by side,open the fridge door and look on the right side wall up near cieling and you'll see a tag with model and serial numbers,if the freezer is a top mount open the fridge door and look on the left side wall up near cieling and send model number so someone can look up your machine.have you vacuumed out the coil,if the coil is filled with dust the machine will run hotter than normal and can damage the start device and the compressor.

Kitchenaid KSCS23IN Burning Hot Divider Wall then No Compressor, No Fan, No Cold Can Hear Clicking
The clicking is caused by the clixon turning off power to over heated motor that is not starting. Check the condition of the starter cap or relay and change. If a good cap or relay does not start your compressor then the rotor is frozen and you need a new compressor. (ouch)

WILL NOT COOL OR MAKE ICE. COMPRESSOR DOES NOT SEEM TO COME ON.
next time send the model number off of the fridge,side by side or bottom freezer model number is in fresh food section,right hand wall up near ceiling or on ceiling,top freezer look on left side wall.if the compressor isn't running most likely you have a bad start device located on the side of compressor,pull out the fridge,unplug it,remove the back outside bottom panel and you'll see the compressor,pop off the metal clip,remove the cover and slide off the start device or overload and relay same thing,then shake the device,if you hear pieces rattling around inside it it's bad,easiest way to check it,if you open the freezer door and you hear the fan blowing around most likely this will be your problem,you might hear the compressor clicking trying to start and it will be hot,also vac out the condenser coil and make sure the condenser fan motor is running good,over heating can take out the start device.good luck.

Older Amana upright freezer, I think that is 18 cu ft in size. It started making a clicking noise....I assume when the compressor is trying to start, it sounds like it is trying to start, but cannot
Hi, the clicking you are hearing is the compressor overload/external overload. When your compressor is a burn out or you have a locked rotor which means the compressor has died on you, it gets very hot from trying to start and this relay which is tied into the common side of the common terminal on the compressor, will click on and off as the unit tries to start. I have repaired these units for years and know exactly what is going on and the unit is older as you say. I would suggest pricing a new box as changing out the compressor, you are looking at around $1800.00 and up. I hate to tell you this but this is the problem. If you want to confirm this, just pull the unit out from the wall and try to leave it plugged in. Remove the lower panel to excess the compressor, condenser fan motor, and coil. Just be careful as this compressor should be very, very hot when you put your hand on it. Then you will know that is the problem. It should be warm and running. Please keep me posted and I hope I have been of help to you. Didn't want to give you the bad news though.
Good Luck, and Sincerely,

The clicking sound your hearing is the compressor trying to start but is not completing the start cycle or achieving run speed so the KliXon thermal overload is tripping trying to protect the compressor.

The bad news a bad compressor.

Letting it just click click click is not a good thing and will cause more damage. Unplug the unit for about 30 mins and then plug it in see if it starts normally.

There can be yet other issues like a defrosting timer contact problem that got weak / hot and isn't allowing enough amperage through to start the compressor.

Does not cool. Compressor Hot
Sounds like the compressor starting relay. This should be available from from most appliance parts retailers that carry refrigeration parts. It is probably a plug-in relay which is easy to replace. PULL THE PLUG UNTIL YOU GET IT! Constant cycling on the thermal protector will damage the unit.

Kegerator is warm. The refrigerator is making the normal humming sound from the compressor and is making the gurgling sound inside of the refrigerator. Is this a compressor problem or something simpler?
