Whirlpool side by side refrigerator

Here’s my question:

I went to check out this unit. It would work intermittently. So the first thing I did was go condenser side. Once there, I plugged in the unit and heard the usual clicking sound of the compressor trying to come on but the relay would not close. So, of course I thought, “must be the relay.” I asked my friend to order one. I left the home have messed with the relay getting the compressor to work again. I left at 6:15 that night and my friend told me that the compressor stopped at 7:00pm. This morning when she opened the door to check on the fridge, the compressor came on, even though the door only controls the light switch.

I am thinking the compressor is bad or the control is bad.

Hi.

Did you replace the relay?
