Victor F West Milford , NJ June 15, 2015 Refrigerator not getting cold at all and everything thawing out compressor clicking I researched the problem and determined that the only thing that can cause this was compressor bad or not starting. Since it was cold the day before I felt it had to be the starter parts and ordered them. It was also very important to clean the coil which I believe caused the over heating. 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
