My refrigerator will sometimes act like it is trying to run, but then stop, and start over again, all while making a clicking sound. If I unplug it and plug it back in, it will stop. Here is the sound I recorded and uploaded on Soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/a2434b2/refrid/s-TF6zxAfter this started happening, I noticed the fridge getting warmer, although the freezer is still cold. I also noticed these things:*The vents in the freezer side of the fridge looks like they are iced over. *There is nothing in the drip pan underneath the fridge. *The fan seems to be running almost continuously now. *The floor underneath the fridge used to be warm, now it seems cool.I have gotten two different responses on what may be the problem, with one person saying it is probably the start relay, and a local repairman saying it could be a board that is causing the problem. I'm guessing he was talking about an adaptive defrost control board. My refrigerator is a Kenmore, model #106.57032601. Which one seems more likely to be the problem?Thanks

I would start by checking the frost pattern behind the freezer panel, if total frost, defrost the coils and the vents and check the defrost thermostat, most probable problem.
