i have a whirlpool side by side refrigerator, model # ED25RFXN. hard to explain the problem. it is like the compressor is not turning on when it is supposed to. the unit has power, all the lights are on, water and ice dispensor work. just found it warm inside 2 or 3 times in the last month. unplugging it and plugging it back in do nothing. but,, if i turn the thermostat to the off position, then turn it back to the on position, it starts back up and runs fine. i live in a area with frequent power outages that only last 3 or 4 seconds. could a contactor be bad? thanks for your help.
