Freezer keeps most items frozen, but ice cream stays soft. The front of the refrigerator (between the two doors) stays warm to the touch. I suspect that the defrost heater stays on, but I cannot explain how the compressor could run while the defrost heater is on. Could the lightning have produced a weld in the defrost timer?

Remove the cover and clean the condenser coils. Make sure the fan next to the compressor works properly. Wait a few hours to see the difference. Here are the breakdown diagrams and Parts for Whirlpool ET1MHKXMQ03 Refrigerator - AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.
