A Frigidaire residential refrigerator producing a rhythmic clicking or snapping sound is usually experiencing an electrical failure in its compressor starting components or a mechanical issue in its icemaker water valve assembly. If the clicking sound originates from the lower rear mechanical compartment, it indicates that the compressor start relay and thermal overload protector are trying and failing to engage the motor windings due to electrical wear or overheating. If the clicking sound comes from the fresh food section, it is often caused by a water inlet valve cycling unsuccessfully. You can troubleshoot by listening closely to isolate the sound. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when replacing a faulty compressor start relay or servicing the icemaker component eliminates the annoying clicking noise entirely.
