Roper Refrigerator

My Roper fridge is running continuously, it makes a click noise then makes another one a few minutes later. also heard a loud pop and a sizzle noise.

It is about 17 years old and I have had NO problems with it at all.

Not sure what the problem is and am wandering if it is just time to replace it?

Whatever happened with your fridge?

Check the compressor in the back, probably blown compressor parts.
