A couple of days ago I noticed a puddle of water in front of my Whirlpool refrigerator. Everything in the freezer was defrosted and the refrigerator was relatively warm. The lights work. I unplugged it, and let it sit with the doors open until today. I cleaned it and plugged it back in. I hear a fan running, but not the compressor. On a periodic basis I hear a click and then another one about 30-60 seconds later. This cycle repeats over and over. I sure hate to get rid of a pretty good refrigerator (especially since I just cleaned it :-)). Any ideas on where I should begin? - Pat

I have a similar issue with a Whirlpool Conquest GD25DIXH502. The start relay was fried (for the second time). I replaced with a universal kit and compressor still did not start. I checked to ensure continuity on each of the three posts coming out of the compressor...minimal resistance across each of the posts. Compressor is very warm. I now hear a relay 'click' every 60 seconds or so but the compressor does not kick on. Fan in freezer and back are both running. Shouldn't I get infinite resistance between some posts on the compressor if it's bad? should I try a different relay
