Are you sure its the thermostat that is clicking and not the compressor. IF the click is comming from inside the frig it is the thermostat, but if its comming from the rear of the frig its the compressor.
If its the thermostat thats clicking you can unplug the frig and remove the thermostat and jump the two wires together and plug the frig back in to see of the compressor comes on. If it comes on, replace the thermostat.
If it doesn't come on check to see if you have current to the compressor. If no power to the compressor check to see of the frig is stuck in defrost. Locate the defrost timer and advance one click and observe if the frig comes on. If the frig comes on at this point replace the defrost timer.

My Rheem central a/c blower fan starts by itself when the t-stat is off and the fan set to auto. It seems to happen more in rainy weather. It does stop eventually then starts again. It's not the t

Sounds like the fan relay is getting voltage bleedover from the 24 volt wire. Could be the thermostat also but most likely there is a bare spot on the wire going from the fan relay to the terminal marked "G" on your thermostat that is touching the wire that goes to the terminal "R". Easiest way to fix this is to run new T-Stat wire from thermostat to the indoor unit or the blower motor if it is a package unit, making sure that the "R" and "G" wires have good insulation on them and are not touching. If you have an 8-wire T-stat wire you can sub out the wires marked "R" and "G" with different color wires that are not being used, just pay attention to how they hook up and you will not have to pull a new wire through the wall. Good luck!

Duo Therm AC won't cut off with thermostat

Hi, sounds to me like the thermostat is at fault.You have done nothing wrong to it but cover it up. The t-stat is what controls it, turns it on and off. The only other thing that would keep it on all the time would be that the thermostat wiring could be touching together from the stat up to the unit. You might check that before replacing stat. I have seen this many times.You can start the unit and go up top and disconnect the stat wire and it should stop the unit.Then its either the wire or stat.Let me know what you find,
Sincerely,Shastalaker7

My goodman air handle is run on e-heat only and will not turn off ,also the outside unit will not turn on , I put a new themostat this didn't help I have a goodman heatpump

Heat-Pumps can be temper mental. Sounds to me like your air handler is running on emergency heat, due to a problem with the condensing unit.You have heat strips in the air handler in case the outdoor temp. gets to cold and the heat pump cant keep you're home warm.Also, if you loose a compressor, it will go into emergency heat. If you have lost the compressor for one reason or another, lets say a locked rotor, the compressor would draw L.R.A. (Locked rotor amps) and cause the circuit breaker to trip. Check this.As for the air handler running all the time, you said you replaced the stat? When you removed the control wiring from the stat, did the fan shut off? I wish I were on site to help you, but all I can do is offer you some advice. With the power off to the air handler, go to the stat and remove the red and green wires. Turn power back on and see if it stops running. If it stops, then it sounds like the new stat is also faulty? If it continues to run, check the wiring in the air handler to make sure the red and green are not touching somewhere, and also check the control wiring on the outdoor unit for the same problem. Do you have any dogs that may have chewed into wiring? If so, check all outdoor t-stat wiring. There are so many things it could be and I hope very much I have helped you with solving this online, which can be difficult. You may also have a faulty defrost board. Try to do what I have asked of you.
Good Luck, Sincerely, shastalaker7

Stat

Sounds like the 2 wires from the t-stat are touching somewhere. when you unplug it the low voltage is broken. Check the wires very closely to make sure they aren't touching. Even check in the t-statOne wire goes to red and one to white.

Sounds like a bad start run capacitor. The exhaust fan motor may be bad too. Be careful, this unit delivers 220volts of electricity.
