I have a kenmore s x s refridge and the freezer is cool by everthing is thawing out. I hear a clicking noise so I took the back cover off and it seems to be coming from the compressor.

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.

Unit freezing up

It will not hurt the unit if you let it thaw out and then run it again. However, if you keep doing this on a regular basis, you can burn out your compressor. What are the conditions that the unit is being run under that is causing it to freeze up? Make sure that you run the unit on high cool on warm days so that it will not freeze.

Hope this helps,

Jeff

Freezer has lost its suction & no longer freezing!

Depending on the age of the unit it does take a 134a freon charge or 12 or 22. when fully charged unit should cool properly. need to check door seal for suction issue. the unit does need a good charge to cool. it could also be a restricted sealed system issue.

Sears Kenmore ColdSpot Frostfree Frosting up/Not working

You have a defrost problem. You need to determine which one of the parts is faulty. The defrost timer on that model should be behind the kick plate in the center front underneath. If you turn the little knob by hand you will hear a load click when it gets to the defrost point and the unit should shut off. Check in the bottom of the freezer to listen for water sizzleing or for water running down. If it is the timer is not advancing and needs replaced. If not you will have to take the back off the inside of the freezer to see if it is the heater or the defrost thermostat. Unhook power before taking panel off or replacing any parts.

All of a sudden

Fixing...first, I assume that the light is on inside. If so, is the compressor working?...that's a mechanical noise from the bottom of the unit. If you don't hear it, it can be a number of things. If you do hear it, does it work for just a brief period and then click off? Unplug the unit, wait 10 minutes and then plug back in. Then listen for the above click-off. How is the thermostat set? Is it in the normal range? Once you go through these checks, we can see if the problem is among the symptoms outlined or something else.

Not cooling or freezing

As you've said that started it with freezing up, either the unit has a leak then the refrigerant escapes or restricted system.
In this problem you need a qualified technician to repair the leak or reprocess the system and flush out the restricted system or repair kink pipe that cause restriction.
