The fridge and freezer both stay nice and cool, but we keep hearing a clicking sound and then the compressor restarting. It works just fine otherwise, The lights will stay on the whole time.
I'm guessing, but based on a quick search of the forums, my guess is that its the inverter box. Am I right?

Most probably a hard starting compressor which will probably get worse. An amprobe check would confirm.

Apparently on this fridge, one of the capacitors has a tendency to go bad. I swapped it out with one from Radio Shack. For future reference, this blog had instructions on how to fix it, along with exact part numbers for both the capacitor and the relay that are known to go bad.
