Side by side, just stopped freezing/cooling. Inherited fridge as part of house sale, maint unk but I cleaned the coils thoroughly 6 mos ago.
Lights work, fan works (both). Starter relay clicks, but compressor not running and starter relay rattles very bad when removed. Compressor was hot.
Did a search, TMI to weed through. Don't want to spend money on even a starter relay if the compressor is bad since its 12 years old. Local wants $50...
How do I troubleshoot the compressor further? I guessed at the starter relay just poking around the forum, but not finding a diagnosis tree to follow.
