Fridge and freezer not receiving cool air and coils froze up
Condenser fan and Evaporator fan are running, coils defrosted but condenser clicks on for a few seconds but does not stay on and only warm air is distributed to fridge and freezer with both at 80 degrees. how do I know if I need to replay overload relay ($175) of if condenser is shot? Thx in advance.

Either your coil is frozen (which you say is not) or condenser fan motor has lack of oil and bearings are seizing up. Motors are throw away if that's the case. If your compressor is running the fan next to it should also be running.
Sounds like your compressor has gone, if the compressor isn't running then the unit won't freeze or get cold. if you mean the condenser fan? then replace it!
Thanks. Sadly the start relay if over $200 and if compressor is shot I am being priced out on this 22 year unit.
