My Kenmore 29702 stopped working. When I plug it in, it makes the right noise. After a few seconds, it makes a clicking noise and stops. What could be the issue and is it worth fixing?

    That unit has no parts available. With that in mind the most common point of failure is the compressor. However there may be a capacitor on the outside of the compressor that controls how it starts. IF there is, that part is probably bad. They are easy to replace and not expensive. So look at the unit underneath for a large metal case that has wires and tubes coming out of it. The wires may connect to a can like object. That object would be a capacitor. There are letters and numbers on them. Before you take any wires off it, TAKE A PICTURE OF IT WITH YOUR CAMERA and make sure the unit is UNPLUGGED

SOURCE: Kenmore 106.53603202 stopped cooling making a clicking sound

The compressor may not have to be changed it could be the relay that is bad, not properly starting the compressor. The relay is attached to the compressor where the wires go to it. Remove it, Shake it, If it sounds like little rocks are inside (it rattles) than it is bad. Let me know what you find

Kenmore 7.5 freezer stopped working.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I just replaced the overload relay and it does the same thing. Runs for a few seconds and the loud click from overload relay. I did notice the relay is really hot to the touch, if that matters.Coils on back are clean. I had noticed the last few months that the inside coils were frosting up quite a bit.Really had hoped it was the relay.

My kenmore freezer stopped working for about two days it had been leaking water for a few months, then it started working again?
It could be that your defrost system is faulty. If the freezer does not defrost now and then it will fill up the cooling fins with ice and get warm. The leaking could also be an indication of two much ice. Did you unplug it when it stopped working and then plug it back in?

Groaning Kenmore 13.5 cu. ft. Upright Freezer
This sounds like you either have a bad fan motor or if you have ice built up on the inside back panel. It could be that the fan blades are hitting ice built up around it. If so, you will have a defrost problem that will need to be addressed to fix the unit. But to repair it so it will stop making the noise, you can defrost the ice (if present) with a hair blow dryer. This will keep the ice away for a few days. Good luck.

If there is a defrost problem, the heater (located around the coil) is most likely the problem.

The motor in my freezer makes a very loud noise and sounds like it is trying to start, it takes a few seconds before it stops the noise, then starts running the freezer.
That's usually mounts inside the compressor. It could still last awhile so if you can put up with the noise just wait for it to quit before replacing the compressor or getting a new fridge.

The compressor works for a few seconds but then stops. The freezer is over temperature.
Check the condenser fan motor (next to compressor) make sure it is running. Next change relay (inside black box) on compressor.

Freezer/Refrigerator tempurature swinging wildly
The compressor is overheating and not starting. Could be just the start relay. If this happens again try unplugging it for about an hour then it should work for a while. Heat between doors is normal this is an electric heater designed to keep the doors from sweating. You just noticed it because the refrigerator wasn't cold.

Kenmore chest freezer not working
Remove the panel covering the compressor. Remove the relay plugged on the side of the compressor and shake it. If it rattles or has any burned spots it is shorted out. Try replacing it first. Make sure you replace it with the correct replacement, not a fit-all. If this is not the problem you will need to replace the compressor. If it is less than 5 yrs old the compressor should still be in warranty. If so call Sears, it will be repaired free of charge. If it is out of warranty buy a new freezer.
