We had our frig in a heated storage for 6 months and prior to this it worked just fine we just moved in to our new home and it is not working light comes in inside and sounds like it works but both sides refrig/freezer are not geting cold? we replaced overloadswitch? and it still does not work and a friend states the overload switch may not be working along with possibly another part? I have only had two friends look at it and have made guesses I dont want to pump money in guessing if it is fixable id like to fix it if not id like to know ive been without it for three weeks now not know what to do ? the model is frs6lr5ew3 the switch replaced was part number 241707701? any thoughts for me?

Feal the compressor, if it is warm and vibrating, you have a bad compressor/refrigerant leak. If it is hot and the condensing coils are cold, you have a clogged capillary ( rather rare) which is repairable. Guages would confirm.
