The clicking noise like clock coming from refrigerator.---------
If your refrigerator unit is working and still you hear this noise then .First inspect from which section you are getting this noise.---------
The most common location for this noise is from start up capacitor beside the compressor. This capacitor gives power to compressor to get started.When this capacitor fails, it makes ticking noise.The compressor is located towards the back bottom.So hear the noise, is it coming from beside the compressor.IF yes, then capacitor needs to be replaced.Its not very hard to replace this capacitor and its also not a costly part.----------- But if you are not hearing the noise from that section, then other most possible location for this noise is from fan in freezer section.In the freezer section inner panel there is fan.When the ice gets collected on the evaporator coil.Sometimes when over ice gets collected, the fan blade hits the ice and you get some noise.So inspect, if you are getting noise from inner freezer section, and is the noise coming from fan hitting the ice.--------- Then in that case , there is nothing to replace, just defrost your refrigerator, by unplugging it from wall outlet for couple of hours, then reconnect.All ice will melt, and the noise will not come.-------------- But again, if the noise is not coming from that section also, then other possibility is noise coming from mother board.this board has to be replaced.-------- There are relays and IC on the board. When this components gets weak, they make this clicking noise, this noise is indication to replace the board.-------- Te board is a costly part to be replaced.Also the components on the board are mostly not replaceable.-------- Complete board needs to be replaced.----------
--------------
This are the most common places from where this ticking noise can come.And the mentioned parts should be inspected and replaced, as per the troubleshooting and checking done.---------
