Randy W Granbury , TX March 04, 2015 Appliance: Model LG LFC27931SB Loud clicking from the back of my refrigerator Research question lead to others that had the same issue. Consensus lead to a common repair. Compressor overload switch going bad. After ordering the correct parts, I changed out both the switch and the motor start capacitor just in case. After cleaning the equipment, I then put everything back together. Results were, clicking gone, seems to be quieter operation because of cleaning, more efficient cooling and nerves calmed.

Mickey S Monument , CO November 10, 2017 Appliance: Model 795.78549.804 The compressor motor had a hard time starting because the relay wasn't doing its job.

I also took advantage of having the back off of the refrigerator to clean the fan and the coils.

Joshua S Oceanside , CA January 24, 2016 Appliance: Model 795.78546.800 My kenmore elite trio refrigerator was not cooling i was hearing a "clicking" sound from behind the unit I first removed the back panel of the refrigerator. I have an electronics background so luckily I have a digital multimeter. I unplugged the relay and capacitor from the condenser unit. I did a check for continuity on the condenser and it all checked out fine. This led me to believe that my overload relay / start kit may be faulty. I replaced both the overload relay and the capacitor even though my old capacitor was still good. I just wanted everything to be new. The refrigerator now works even better than it did before the issue.
