I am hearing a consistent clicking sound coming from the lower back of my refrigerator. It sounds like a relay clicking every 5-15 seconds or so. The refrigerator and freezer sections seem to be holding temperature. I removed the back panel and found that the fan is cycling off and on with the clicking. My refrigerator model has an inverter box instead of a relay/overload attached to the compressor. Should I just replace the inverter box?

Your refrigerator is cooling, and maintaining temperature. With the condenser fan cycling off and on and the clicking noise it's more likely a faulty relay on the electronic control board Part number: AP3176836
(Wpl Will No Longer Supply. Contact Wpl At: 800-851-4605 or Mcgregor At: 937-833-6768 X 268 For Rebuild) and check and clean the condenser and condenser fan motor and blade.

Joe,
Thanks for the response. So, my only option is a rebuild of my existing board? Nobody stocks the new part? Any idea of time and cost of the rebuild?

-Jeff Jeff, Sorry but no idea's as to time and cost. You'll need to contact the phone numbers attached to the previous post. There may not be a major delay at all, if they have a "remanufactured" boar in stock and ready to go.
