The compressor is supposed to get hot and hum. That means it's running, and probably doesn't signify a problem - unless you're talking about the very specific 60Hz hum you might hear in the case of a motor stall (ever heard the hum a large transformer makes? That's the very specific hum I'm talking about), which would mean there's something wrong with the compressor.
Ok I have the EXACT same type of compressor and I can just move it and it sounds like something is loose inside like a knocking sound I believe on start up it makes about 3 knocks and maybe about four on shut down. Mine is am 07 Whirlpool it cools just fine no issues but that knocking is concerning… also I can just push the compressor and it will make the knocking noise
That is what mine does, except it doesnt click on starting just when the overload comes on and it cycles way faster than this one. I have yet to get a new PTC relay, it is only a 6 and a half yr old fridge.
My Frigidaire gallery has been terrible it has multiple issues and I am ready to get rid of it after not even eight years. Can’t believe the cost vs use ratio on these fridges now is days I will be buying another brand not sure that will be any better.
If your frig is working, I wouldn't worry about this clicking noise since it's part of normal compressor kick-on. But if it's not working, that is unusual and hopefully you can get warranty service on it.
I have a whirlpool refrigerator, bought last year. since last week there’s very loud knocking sound from its back, drive me nuts! will never buy again!
Whirlpool, 4 months old, same situation, thanks for the video, now I know what’s wrong.
Mine is making the same sound, but the clicking is more frequent. I will try to change this start relay, thanks for the video !

Also when it happens it causes the lights on the circuit dim?

Mine is a Frigidaire manufactured in June 2015 that had the same problem. Thanks for your video clip.
Did it end up being the start relay?

Mine did this noise 3 times today only and my whirlpool refrigerator is only a week old! Is it normal for it to break down like this when it’s new??

That's what mine sound like but the hum isn't that long hums for a sec then clicks.
is it normal for the fridge to have this knock sounds (just like netflix logo intro) when the compressor turns off or goes into sleep
do you have a recording of the sound?
What was that?
Thanks , VERY HELPFUL
