compressor compartment )
I was cleaning and vacuuming the dust from the condensor coil, the fan, and the compressor area so I could troubleshoot the original refrigerator problem. Refrigerator and freezer temps changing rapidly, freezer working properly one minute and 6-12 hours later everything in freezer fully defrosted, freezer compartment warm as if fridge was unplugged, then 6-12 hours later everything frozen again. Refrigerator stuck in this cycle for last 2 weeks. Dust was thick on condensor/fan/coil so I vacuumed it up, now compressor not cycling on at all yet fan,icemaker, and temp control display all working. Is this related to the start relay or start capacitor, is there a way 2 verify these components

If you have a start relay , remove and shake - if you hear anything it is toast. with a cap either use a cap tester or just replace it and cross your fingers.
