    Beko fridge compressor clicking

    Hello,

    our fridge and freezer stopped cooling last weekend, it’s a Beko fridge.

    looking at the bottom, I can hear the relay clicking on the plug attached to the compressor.

    There is also a 3uf capacitor, I’m thinking this is a run capacitor, I tested this with my fluke and and it measured at 1.5uf, so I replaced this (new one tested just over 3uf) so that’s where it should be.

    I was thinking this was the issue. The compressor seem to run for like a minute then shutoff again.

    inside the relay, there is a Klixon 4tm thermistor, on testing the ohms reading is between 1.4ohms and 1.6ohms (see photo attached) does this seem correct? I was expecting to get around 0.2ohms

    I have ordered the full relay which includes the thermistor.

      First I would use a Megger (isolation test) on the compressor and see if the compressor is fit or not. Could be that it is drawing too much current. Could be that this overload protector is junk too. Looks like something got hot, because of the black goo running ran down?

      a motor run capacitor should still work at 50% capacitance, but it was on its way out anyway…

          Btw what is your fluke showing if you just make a short with the 2 probes?

              Carver CM-1090 - Power relay clicking on & off, then fuse blown after 20-30 seconds of power cycling.
              by beetle1303
              I gotten a Carver CM-1090 amplifier from a friend who has kept it in storage for decades. Opened it up, thick layer of dust cumulated everywhere. Vacuumed it semi-cleaned, and blown off as much as possible the remaining dust. This is a 220V version.

              On initial powered up with nothing connected - it works with all the lights and button indicator lit up as pressed, etc. I then powered off, connected a CD player into the CD RCA input and powered it on. It seemed to work for a short while and when I turned the volume up and down to see the the VUs works, the power started to clicked off...

              Garage door RX unit (Cardin S38C) does not short relay to send opening signal
              by CoinCoin88
              Hello everyone,

              I'm turning to the Badcaps community to help me troubleshoot the radio Rx card from my (old) garage door opener. While I could just ditch that card and replace the whole system, I first would like to understand "why" it suddenly stopped working, because that's just how I am wired...!

              Some basics: the receiver works on a 30.875 Mhz frequency. Yes, I'm aware this is not in use anymore in a looot of places. It does not use any rolling code, it's just a regular dip-switch code that you have to set up on both the receiver and transmitter. The receiver...

              60" LG 60PB690V relay clicking issue
              by DodgyTech
              Hi everyone,

              I require some help with my TV. The TV standby light blicks on and off with a clicking sound (relay?) from the back. After I opened up the TV, I set about troubleshooting by unplugging the boards to try and isolate the problem. My troubleshooting suggests that the logic board is causing the issue, but it could entirely be the YSUS board which is only activated once the logic board is connected.

              I have recorded a video which I thought would be an easier way to explain the problem and show the boards at the same time.

              I would like to try and identify...

              Pioneer amplifier A-205 Relay not clicking after a mistake i made
              by GraphicMan
              Hello guys
              Because the unit is old (but only occasionally used) the loudness button causes some noise due to bad contact,
              sprays did not work, so i decided to solder the pins that it connects on the pcb at the on (loudness on) position
              i did that and it worked fine, i know from the bottom of my heart that the switch connects 2 pins and also d/c other 2 pins
              on every position it have (6 pin switch), so i was curious what would happen if i clicked the switch off while the pins are soldered at on (so basiclly on and off at the same time), when i did so the sound is gone, nothing...

              Help repair Panasonic fridge not cooling
              by mikey5791
              Hi all forum members,

              Few days ago, i might have forgotten to close my home fridge freezer door completely. The next day, the ice cubes and frozen meat almost melted halfway and the freezer doesn't feel cool. I shut it off, wipe dry and let it air dry for one whole day. The next day i switched on the fridge, the compressor run for a second and it shuts off(no vibration and no sound at all) only the internal freezer compartment fan is running but is not cooling even i switched on a full day.
              After shut off, i dismantle the rear water pan holder and reached to the compressor wiring....
