My whirlpool fridge was sitting in a garage for about a year not being used and when we plugged it in, neither the freezer nor the fridge would get cold. We opened the back of the fridge and checked for dust, but there was actually very little. We then googled our issue and realized that it could be the compressor start relay. We bought a new one from APP and installed it (this was not the problem because my husband shook the old one and it did not make rattling noise like something was broken on the inside) and the freezer/fridge still did not get cold after being plugged in for 2 days.

At this point we have no idea what else to do. The lights come on, we can hear the fan going and the condenser coils are not dusty. We really don't want to have to pay for a repairman if we can fix it ourselves, but we don't know where to go from here. PLEASE HELP!!:confused:
