Marshall, The W10613606 start device will not work for your unit. You will have to get the overload 10377025 and relay WP10097204 as individual parts. The starting device that you received is for newer units.

Hello Paul, You will want to check the compressor to make sure that it is running. It may be hot but not running due to trying to start but not able to. You can pull the start relay off the side of the compressor and shake it next to your ear. If you hear an audible rattle then the start relay is bad. If the relay does not rattle then do an amp draw on compressor. If the compressor is drawing more than 8 amps then the compressor has failed and will need to be replaced.

Hello Randyj. Test for power to the compressor. If there is power there, and it just clicks, it could be the start device. Here is a link to our Repair Forum, this is a free service to our customers.

Hello Rick, Based on the information provided, there could be a couple of different issues. If you are not hearing any noise, no fans, no compressor, then the unit may have stuck in a defrost cycle. If this is the case then you can try to unplug and plug back in after about 30 seconds and unit should come back on. If it does come back on you will need the control panel WPW10503278. If still does not cool then you will want to listen for fans and check compressor to ensure it is coming on. If it is not coming on then do amp draw on compressor. If you have above 8 amps on the draw then you need to replace the compressor W10309990. If the fans are running and you are seeing frost on the rear wall of freezer then you would have defrost failure. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Hello Aegora. Based on the information you provided, if the noise is coming from the compressor, you will need to order and replace the compressor on the unit.
