My fridge starting making a weird noise a couple of days ago,so i checked underneath and their was alot of dust buildup..i opened the bottom freezer door and everything was defrosted..i cleaned the dust and it started to get cold for 1 day then it went warm again...i feel cool air being blown out ,but not cold enough...every 10 to 15 minutes i keep hearing a clicking noise then a continois weird hollow sound from the bottom back of the fridge ...not happy about that.... any ideas!!!!i am pretty sure the noise is coming from the compressor... also the relay keeps clicking on when the compressor goes on for about 10 to 15 seconds with a humming noise then shuts down...

kenmore 3 door bottom freezer, model number 596.755.09400 as of today the freezer and fridge stay at 60 degrees,al there is ,is warm air blowing inside

Most likely the problem is a bad compressor start relay, but there is a chance for the compressor itself to be bad too. Replace the relay first. Also check if the condenser fan motor (next to the compressor) does work.

- The part number for the start relay is AP4079373

i changed the relay and that worked,for about 6 hours..Then the relay broke again? Any ideas now?

I checked my warrant and it is 5 years.sears is coming tommorow to look at it.thanks for the help,,,,,its weird for every 20 times i plug it in once in a while the compressor will start up,but the other 19 times the compressor dont come on,and flicks the relay .....
