I just bought a used Whirlpool S/S refrig/Freezer for my garage from a private party who assured me it worked super. It was "running" when I bought it, andtook their word on it. After spending several hours cleaning it up I plugged it in and went to bed expecting it to be chilled down when I got up. The temperture gauges in both the refrigerator and freezer showed 65-70 degrees. I pulled the interior panel off and there was not a hit of frost on the coils. Both the fans are working. I noticed when I have the doors open there is a power draw and the lights dim for a second. I checked the temperture switch with a ohm meter and it seems to be working. The compressor is warm/hot too the touch. Any ideas.

I have all the same symptoms. In addition I can hear a relay/ switch clicking on and off. At fter click I can feel a faint vibration/ hum in compressor. After about 15-20 seconds. switch activates again and vibration/ humming stops. after about 3-5 minutes, cycle starts again. Compressor is warm/ hot
