Refrigerator compressor clicking and not starting
A failed start relay or overload is the most common cause; a seized compressor is the worst case. We test the relay before condemning the compressor.
Lakewood is Pierce County's second-largest city, spread around a series of lakes between I-5 and the Joint Base Lewis-McChord boundary, roughly 11 miles southwest of our NE Tacoma base. Appliance Experts 365 provides in-home repair for refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens and ranges in Lakewood. We are licensed, insured and EPA 608 certified, bring over ten years of experience, and treat every call the same: a quoted diagnostic fee, a written repair quote and a parts-and-labor warranty.
If you have just moved in near JBLM and are not sure what brand or age your appliances are, that is fine. We are independent, not tied to a manufacturer, so brand does not matter to us. If your refrigerator has a sealed-system fault, we repair it ourselves under EPA 608 certification. Same-day or next-day service is available for most Lakewood addresses, including Tillicum and Woodbrook near the base.
