Tak Tak sound is likely from the overload switch or the power relay.

The overload switch is rm10
And the relay is rm5

I would repair it

how much is the fridge worth?
if its the big one, i would say call tshiba and they will arrange someone to check. maybe cost would be rm80 for the diagnosis and another 80 for the repair.

if you have the inverter fridge, then the repair cost would be around 400 or so.


for non inverter, the repair is much cheaper as the switching is done by a mechanical relay. just change that relay regardless its good or not.

in your case, i think its the ptc. it shut down too early before the compressor can start properly.

the links are random. you need to have the fridge model to get the exact part

fan? bring a kipas blow directly on the small black box area first ah?

yes. let it completely cool down. power off ya.
when its cool to touch the compressor, then can power on back. you might resurrect it this way.
keep the fan blowing.



if you competent enough, can take the cover off and check the part number. then order from lazada and replace it yourself. cost likely rm5-10 can settle jor. buy from electrical shop maybe cost you rm20-30

you mention the tick tick sound. does it come from the bottom or middle section of the fridge?

middle section = relay

bottom is the overload and ptc.

all brands ptc will fail. its made of freaking thin ceramic. just matter of time.

and i wont buy a inverter fridge. the repair cost is many times higher.

good luck and be safe.

Why inverter repair higher..?

harder to troubleshoot mosfet. usually repairman just propose change whole board. usually rm400 above.
non inverter just change the rm5 relay settled.

I see but inverter save electric

i kinda doubt the claim. because fridge is enclosed environment. doesnt matter is inverter or non inverter.
and your food wont care if there is temperature fluctuation for 1 minute. unless u are the type who open close the fridge very frequently, then a inverter might save some pennies.

the most efficient fridge is a chest freezer

i searched around in usj, all dont have lol

there is only one shop in taipan has it, but the pattern kinda weird.

Everything matches, however one of the long gold pin is on the left, short pin middle.. whereas mine is middle long pin, left is short pin

fkkkkkk
*
Lol.. call them first lo..whatsapp the photos and ask them to search.

Thought yours is 2 pin only? Only need to change the black ptc. The white overload should be ok
