When your Whirlpool refrigerator has stopped cooling, you have to check the continuity on the compressor wires first of all. In case it works properly as well as the fan here you are more ideas of what to check then. The condenser coils are usually located under the refrigerator. They dissipate heat as refrigerant passes through them. If the condenser coils are dirty, they won’t dissipate the heat effectively. As debris builds up on the coils, the refrigerator becomes less efficient, causing the refrigerator to work harder to cool down. If the coils are significantly dirty, the refrigerator will not be able to maintain the proper temperature. Check the condenser coils to determine if they are dirty. Clean them if it is needed. When the fan runs, the condenser runs in a short burst. It sounds like it is trying to get there and then stops. The condenser runs for approx 5-8 seconds and stops. It looks like your compressor start relay device or compressor went out. There are two ways to check it, unplug your refrigerator, take it off from the side of your compressor, shake it, if it rattles inside, it's bad. If it doesn't rattle, then you use a multimeter to ohm test it for continuity, normal would be 0-12 ohms. Remember to be careful while doing any diagnostic yourself. Don’t hesitate to advert a professional refrigerator maintenance helper to make sure nothing risks your safety.
