Dave,

I didn't mean the button... my mistake.. or course it is the last 1/2 inch
of the air pump that sparks the piezzo....
I don't know what could be making the clicking... the piezzo is manual
unless you have the Hoch set up and you don't....
The only other moving part behind the fridge that I can think of is the
fan... how fast its the clicking?... could the fan blade be hitting
something?
Bill
