I have a Whirlpool 18.2 top freezer refrig. Recently, it stopped cooling and I had the overload relay capacitor replaced. The compressor came on right away and started cooling, but it stopped cooling a day later. What's wrong and what should I do?

two things to check , cold controll ( tempature controll ) and defrost timer.
well first is the compressor running ? if not is the condensor fan motor running? (motor next to compressor)
if both are off then check the two mentioned above

My technician said compressor is dead, so I'll be buying a new refrig. I've heard Whirlpool is the best brand, but my old refrig was a Kenmore/Whirlpool and lasted only 6 years. Is that the average lifespan nowadays? Should I stick with Whirlpol? My parents had a GE that lasted 28 years!
