Snailsurfer for Model Number ED5JHAXML00 The model number mentioned is a Whirlpool side by side fridge. I have noticed a clicking sound coming from under the unit. The condenser fan (underneath fridge) is running, but the air is not warm, more like room temperature. The freezer side is noticed first, getting warm. Sometimes the compressor runs, and when does, it cools well. Am I having a problem with the compressor, or do I need a capacitor to start the motor?
