Our Maytag Refrigerator is only 4 years old. A couple weeks ago it started making a high pitched buzz when the compressor was kicking on. Then it quit cooling and freezing. I replaced the relay capicitor start on the compressor, but it is still doing the same thing. Please help! Thank you.

Your compressor is drawing high current at start up.If you have an amp probe, you could confirm. I would check for burnt wires at the compressor and also check voltage to it.
