after defrost cycle, compressor will not restart. I can hear a clicking from back of unit. If I turn control to off, then back on, unit will start and run till next cycle. Is there a relay that I should be looking for??
Thanks for any help

Unplug the power cord. Remove the main control board cover on the back of the refrigerator. Remove the wire from the J8 terminal. Plug the power cord back and measure the voltage between the J8 terminal and the wire connected to the J7-9 pin while the control is on and you can hear that clicking sound.

If the voltage reading is about 120 VAC, replace the compressor start relay and the overload.

If the voltage reading is incorrect, replace the main control board.
