refrigerator and freezer to warm.
it sounds like the compressor wants to start but nothing happens, there is a buzzing noise for about 20 seconds then a click then quiet.
would this be the overload, capacitor

thanks

Most likely the start relay/overload, but it's generally best to change the capacitor as well. Paart #AP3084860 (or 8170706) & AP3865282 (or 8170462 )
Unplug the unit so it doesn't become a compressor burnout due to the starting attempt.
