Compressor Start Relay and Overload Assembly
The clicking sound is the thermal overload protector cycling open and closed. This happens because the PTC relay has failed to shift the electrical load to the compressor's run windings, causing an overcurrent state. Replacing this assembly restores the necessary electrical impulse to initiate the compressor's refrigeration cycle.

Refrigerator Run Capacitor
The capacitor provides the electrical phase shift required for the compressor motor to develop starting torque. If the capacitor has lost its capacitance due to dielectric breakdown, the compressor will fail to turn over, resulting in the start relay's overload protector clicking as it attempts to start a 'stalled' rotor.

Main Electronic Control Board
While less likely given the audible clicking at the compressor, a malfunctioning relay on the main control board can send intermittent or low-voltage signals to the start device. This can cause the compressor to struggle to maintain a run state, though the failure is usually localized to the compressor-mounted components.
