What could be the cause of my side by side not cooling very well. Both fridge side & freezer. The fridge is cool, but not like it has been, same with freezer, I noticed some things not as frozen as they should be, and water from dispenser isn't cold either. Could it be a relay?

Here are your parts

See the attachment for the tech sheet.

Your symptoms can be caused by a lot of thinks so you have to do some troubleshooting to try and narrow it down.

Is the compressor running. You can usually hear it and you should be able to feel it vibrating.
Does it run all the time (except during a defrost cycle) or is it cycling as normal?
Is the condenser/compressor fan running?
Is the evaporator/freezer fan running?
Note that both fans should be on when the compressor is on.

If the compressor and the fans run continuously and the fans are on, remove the cover in the freezer so you can check the evaporator coils.

If they are heavily iced/frosted over (to the point that the evaporator fan cannot pull air through them) then you have a defrost problem.

If there is only frost in one area (usually where the freon enters the coils) then you may have a sealed system problem.
