The compressor is not running and there is a clicking noise coming from the circuit board panel on the back of the refridgerator

the 15 amp fuse is blowing because the current draw to run the compressor exceeds 15 amps
that problem could be from a failed start/ run capacitor or a failed compressor motor (I am betting on the capacitor)
the best answer is to get a fridge technician to check it out as the capacitor is a cheap fix while the compressor unit is as costly as a new fridge

More than likely the board is going to have to be changed. This is one of the most common repairs for GE Refrigeration

Hello,
That condenser fan motor needs to be replaced. You and doing the right thing as far as using a seperate fan to keep compressor cool,buy replacing the fan the compressor will run cooler and click off by being too hot as you have heard/seen.

Find your model number and call your local appliance parts store and see if they have a CONDERSER FAN MOTOR in stock

hi you may have a bad compressor or relay i would call a appliance tec jim

Hi,
The compressor is not starting...
Many times a freezer and/or refrigeratordo not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...there are also many otherthings that can go wrong. If you are hearing a clicking or buzzing then checkout the last two tips.

If your refrigerator is running but warm, then...

Check out this tip that I wrote about that... it is a great place to starttrouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then callinga repair person to do a simple thing for you...

If the "clicking" noise is from a relay on the board or compressor, it's likely th compressor would be cycling on and off.

It could be a fan blade (evaporator or condenser) hitting something. Both fans only run when the compressor is on. This should be addressed ASAP as it could be a wire it's rubbing on.

Finally, the noise could be caused by the refrigerant within the sealed refrigeration system. This noise is more of a nuisance rather than a mechanical failure.

sounds like the compressor has seized and the click is the relay starter to get it going. if it is running and getting very hot the likelyhood is that there is a refridgerant leak.

you didnt include the model, but i would assume that the "control panel lights " are also out??, and a clicking noise when the refrig door is opened??? if so you have a bad electronic control board. its located behind the refrig on the left hand side munted inside a little white box next to the compressor,

IF THE BUZZING SOUND IS ONLY THERE WHEN THE MOTOR IS RUNNING THAT COULD MEAN ONLY ONE THING.YOUR PISTON IN SIDE THE COMPRESSOR IS NOISEY THE ONLY WAY TO SOLVE THAT IS TO REPLACE THE COMPRESSOR.BEST YOU HAVE A TECH TO ADVICE YOU FUTHER.GOODLUCK.MOHAMED

restarting of refridgerator may damage your compressor motor due to overload.

when you switch off the refridgerator the compressor is in load condition, sudden restart overload the motor, it consume more current so the light going to dim.

solution. If your refridgerator have no delay circuit inside,
use a refridgerator stabilizer or attach a delay circuit,
if you have the the restart delay circuit may problem repair it.
