Also earlier in the day we smelled burning by the refrigerator and then the no freezing and clicking noise.  It is still clicking.

Try replacing the compressor start relay.

Where is the compressor start relay

[whirlpooltech]

On the compressor, were the clicking noise is coming from.

is it easy to replace?

[whirlpooltech]

is it easy to replace?

Yes, very easy. Just unplug the old part and plug in the new one.

You should order the Start Relay and Overload.
The overload plugs in with the start relay.

There is the chance you have a bad compressor, but you will need a ohm meter to check it.

Chance are it's just the start relay/overload that needs to be replace.

If you do by chance have a ohm meter check the compressor to make sure it's not shorted to ground.

If you have no meter, order the parts and try them.

Enter your model number in the top left search box's to find your parts.

Thank you so very much.  Other than the ohm meter.  Would there be any other way to know if it is the compressor?  Would the burning electrical smell be the relay switch? It sounds like you want me to replace to switches?

[whirlpooltech]

Would the burning electrical smell be the relay switch?

Yes

Other than the ohm meter.  Would there be any other way to know if it is the compressor?

No, other then replacing the start relay to see if the clicking noise goes away and the compressor starts running.

It sounds like you want me to replace to switches?

That's correct. Most of the time the start relay and overload come together as one repair kit.

After taking a quick look at your model I see they listed them as two different parts.

The start relay and overload both mount together on the side of the compressor.

In this photos #4 is the start relay and #5 is the overload.

Thank you again you are a life saver!  Can I leave the refrigerator going?  If I do will it hurt the compressor? It is still blowing some cold air. 

[whirlpooltech]

Can I leave the refrigerator going?

No, turn it off, unplug it, clean it out and leave the doors open so it can air out.

If I do will it hurt the compressor?

Maybe

It is still blowing some cold air.

It won't be for long, turn it off.

[wink]

Ok Thank you!! You have been very helpful.  I will refer this website to everybody.

Then the compressor is bad.

At this point you would need to replace the compressor to repair it.
You would need to have a technician do the work and unless the compressor is under warranty it's not going to be worth the cost to repair it.
