It's 6 years old, no prior problems until now. Both sides - freezer and fridge, stopped working. Temperature about 70 degrees. Condenser fan is working, checked the ice maker and put it back together but didn't run any tests on it. You can hear it click over every couple of minutes so it's not completely dead. I'm guessing it's the compressor, compressor relay or a faulty PCB, or anything else that I may be unaware of. Based on the limited information provided, what would you recommend I do first to identify the problem? Thanks for your help and look forward to your reply. Roger

Clicking sound means the compressor is trying to start and can not. The first thing I would do is replace the relay and overload for the compressor. If it would not help then most likely the compressor has gone bad.
