Refrigerator not cooling. Compressor fan runs, but compressor does not come on. Compressor clicks every few minutes like trying to come on. Compressor gets hot to the touch.

Note: No frost buildup, inside fan does not come on (evaporator fan believe) and have replaced the defrost timer, and have played with the thermostat settings and door switch, but still same issues.


Possible diagnosis?

You either have a faulty compressor or the PCT relay is faulty.

Here is a link to your fridge model SXD26VW.
