[SIZE=3]I have a Kenmore side by side fridge. Two days ago the freezer side started losing its cool and a day later it started to blow out warm air on both side of the fridge. Unplugged the fridge and cleaned the coils. Removed the back panel and found the compressor was extremely hot. Removed the start relay and found it was bad (It rattles when shaking it). I replaced the start relay and plugged the fridge back on, but the compressor and fans are not working at all. Before replacing the start relay the fan inside the fridge was working, now only the lights are working. Replaced the capacitor as well and the results were the same. Would it be possible that the compressor is toasted by the extreme heat? I will try to advance the defrost timer tomorrow to see what would happen. Any ideas and assistance to help fix this fridge are deeply appreciated.[/SIZE]
