Thank you for replying. The corrected model #10651103110. It sounds like when the compressor tries to come on, the relay shuts it off. I do not hear the compressor humming. After about 5-7 minutes of the compressor attempting to start and failing, I unplugged the fridge.
Kenmore sxs Refrigerator still clicking
Greetings. My Kenmore refrigerator began to make clicking noises three weeks ago after a power outage. I have replaced the relay twice with a new one. Replaced the cold control because it was going bad. Replaced the defrost board. Refrigerator is still clicking every 3-4 minutes, lights inside dim.
The model number is 106.51103.10. It is only four years old. Capacitor checks OK. The readings that I am getting from the compressor are from the two bottom prongs (8.5) from the common to the other prongs. (3.0) and (5.7). What should I do next? Is the compressor a goner? Thanks you.

Sounds like the compressor windings are shorted causing it to kick the overload you can check with an ohmeter from the pins with respect to ground by touching a probe on each individual pin and the other on the compressor casing itself just scatch the paint off in a spot so you get the actual car I g and not the paint you should get no reading at all if you do compressor is shorted
Thank you. I did not get a reading or a beep from any of the prongs from the scratch/continuity test. I have ordered another relay to double check again. Could the fan have a short even though it is running? Could a tight fit at the top of the fridge between the cabinet cause the compressor to fail prematurely?
We had a major power outage the morning before the refrigerator started clicking.
