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-TF6zx

After 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.
