Heard a loud grinding sound from my fridge on Saturday early evening. On Sunday evening found puddle of water in front of freezer. Everything thawing in freezer. Checked temp control and freezer turned down to 3. Emptied freezer turned up temp control, put bowl of water in freezer and still just a bowl of water at 7am on Monday. Refrigerator doesn't feel very cold either.

Here are your parts, includes a wiring diagram.

You have to do more trouble shooting.
First determine if the compressor is running. You can usually hear it also you should be able to feel it vibrating and it should be warm.

If it is not running, it could be a thermostat, a compressor start or a number of other issues.
If it is running, it could be a sealed sytem or a defrost problem.

Fresh food side will also not be cold because it gets all it's cooling from the freezer.

Here are a couple good sites with info on how to troubleshoot a fridge.

Thanks for your post. It ended up being a relay switch that turns on the compressor.

You are welcome.

And thanks for getting back to us. Now when others search for a similar problem they will see what actually worked instead of just suggestions about what could be the cause.
