I am not super well versed in appliance repair so i’m sorry but I can help with some basic diagnostics.

  • Have you checked the freezer light bulb to see if it is replaceable? This could be end of life for that bulb
  • Can you tell if the two blinking lights are connected? try to find the door close switch for the freezer, hold it in with the freezer open and see if the light still blinks. does it stop blinking, blink in both spots, blink only in one spot?
  • Do both lights drawer and freezer blink in sync?
  • have you tried unplugging the entire unit waiting 10 minutes and plugging it back in? this is most likely not the issue but would be a good troubleshooting step.

The clicking comes from a relay turning on and off the light so that is not a separate issue. My guess is this relay went bad or there is a short in the system somewhere.

The clicking and blinking are directly related and I don’t believe either have anything to do with the light bulbs. We’re you able to view the video? It seems to be Morse code!
