Your freezer is actually made by Midea and is branded according to who retails it e.g. branded as Omnimax, Classic etc but the model number is always the same i.e. 3730-924.
Given that you hear a clicking sound it could be a faulty starter - part #12031000001063 a faulty capacitor - part # 17431000001253 or worst case a faulty compressor
The parts listed above are from the parts list The starter is part #21-1 and the capacitor is part #19 (although it isn't shown in the list, but is here) so maybe it doesn't have one
The supplier listed above is only to show what the part looks like and its location. Search online for the part number only to find suppliers. Maybe start with the starter first as it is the cheapest.
If it is the compressor, you will need to get a licensed repairer to replace it due to the environmental regulations regarding the handling of refrigerant gases as the compressor will have to cut away from the sealed system without losing any refrigerant etc.
Here's the service manual that may also help. go to p.22 to see how to replace the starter.

Hi @xzavieryeo42309,
Unfortunately the images you posted are too small to read, even when zoomed in.
Please post the make and model number of the freezer and maybe a enlarged image of the 2nd image you posted above?
