My Whirlpool refrigerator is 4 yrs old and not used very much. I plugged it in about 3 months ago and it did not start. The light comes on so it is getting power. I would like to fix it instead of getting a new one so any help is appreciated.

Answer Lisa,
You will want to check to make sure that the unit is not in a defrost cycle. When you look at the control panel in the refrigerator, if you look at the bottom there will be a hole. If you take a flat blade screw driver and stick it in the hole and turn the defrost timer til it clicks, see if the unit cycles on. If not continue to turn til there is another click and you would want to check to make sure that the fans are running and if they are then check to see if the compressor is running. It may be a bad thermostat or a sealed system issue.
My refrigerator is not cooling the freezer has defrosted it make a buzzing sound. The fans are running could it be a relay or is it the compressor. I think the compresssor is running.

Answer Hello Ethan,
If the relay has failed then the compressor would not run. You will want to double check to make sure that the compressor is running. If not then pull relay off and shake. If the relay rattles then the relay is faulty and you would need to replace.
My fridge will not cycle on and off. Stays running even if I turn it down to 1. Fridge part is almost freezing.

G for Model Number et1chmxkbo3
Answer G, You may be on track, The compressor, condenser fan and evaporator fan(in the freezer compartment) all use the same power source, when one is running, all three components should be running. You'll need to check for 120 VAC to chassis ground, on the red wire attached to the overload 4387913 If the voltage is present you'll need to test the compressor windings with a multimeter and replace the overload / relay assembly. If no voltage is present, you'll need to check and find where the red wire is broken or loose.
