Compressor Start Relay and Overload
The PTC start relay is the most frequent failure point for a 'not cooling' symptom in Whirlpool side-by-side units. The internal ceramic disc can shatter or burn out over time, preventing the compressor from starting despite receiving power. If you hear a 'clicking' sound every few minutes from the back of the fridge, this component has likely failed.

Main Control Board
The main control board manages the voltage sent to the compressor and fans; if the onboard compressor relay fails or the logic circuit glitches, the cooling system will never initiate. This is suspected if the refrigerator lights are on and the display works, but there is no sound from the compressor or fans.

Condenser Fan Motor
If the condenser fan motor fails, the refrigerant cannot shed heat, causing the compressor to reach critical temperatures. To prevent permanent damage, the compressor's internal thermal overload will trip, shutting down all cooling until the unit cools down. This results in intermittent or total cooling loss.
