GE Café refrigerator clicking noise repair — GE Café fridge not cooling clicking

A clicking sound coming from your GE Café refrigerator isn’t just annoying—it’s often the first sign of a developing problem. At Professional Appliance Repair, we regularly receive calls from customers in Palm Harbor, Dunedin, Clearwater, Safety Harbor, and Tarpon Springs who report that their fridges start clicking, then suddenly stop cooling.

Real Customer Case: Palm Harbor GE Café Refrigerator

Last month, a Palm Harbor family noticed their GE Café French door refrigerator making a loud clicking noise every few seconds. They thought it might just be the ice maker cycling, so they ignored it.

By the time they called us, the fridge was no longer cooling properly, and the freezer temperature had risen above safe food-storage levels. GE Café Refrigerator Making Clicking Sound

Our Diagnosis for GE Café Refrigerator Making Clicking Sound

Upon inspection, our technician found:

The start relay on the compressor was failing.
The compressor was attempting to start repeatedly (hence the clicking sound).
This repeated cycling was causing excess heat and stress on the motor.

The Repair

We replaced the start relay with a factory-approved GE part, checked the compressor for damage, and tested the cooling system.

✅ Noise gone.
✅ Cooling restored to factory settings.
✅ Customer saved from a $1,000+ food loss and a full compressor replacement.
