Whirlpool s/s won't cool(fridge of freezer). I have cleaned the coil of dirt and dust. Compressor is warm to the touch. Fan is running. ???? I've got it fixed now--bad relay/overload switch.

I've got it fixed now--bad relay/overload switch. Before you replaced the bad relay, could you desrcibe the symptoms please? Would the compressor start with a click and then shut off? Any help would be appreciated...Thnkx

Relay would click appx. 20-30 sec. after plugging fridge in and would click again anywhere from 20sec. to 2min. later. and would continue this cycle. Temp of fridge and freezer was somewhere between 75 and 85 degrees. Also, the repair man I talked to said that their was a 50/50 chance of it being this or the compressor itself. He also said that whirlpool uses two types of compressors, one being better thatn the other. The one with very few problems is an embarco(???).
