My fridge is making a little click every 3-10 mins while compressor is on (prob not happening while plugged in bjt not compressing) and even after click the compressor doesn't stop

It was doing it in the trailer 12v DC and in house 120AC

There's def a fair bit of mono creatine powder on the machinery from when my shelf fell mid travel, on some copper bits certainly.

Any thoughts? I think it's possible this is "normal" and not a short (since control panel doesn't flicker nor does compressor stop)...
