Default refrigerator freezer troubles

Hi All,

Help!

refrigerator freezer:
Whirlpool GR2SHKXKQ
21.6 cu ft
Purchased ~ 12/2010

Stinker won't cool below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Both
sections.

It started out stinking like a burnt tire. Then frost all
over the freezer items.

So I replaced the 4387244 Condenser Fan Motor, which indeed
was leaking oil and not spinning too freely.

Now I have lots of air going in the bottom front left
(my left, its right) and going out the bottom front
right.

The wind coming out the fan in the freezer section
is not all that cold.

The thing runs for a while and stops. Then cycles
again after a bit. If it is off and I kill power at
the breaker, it will start again.

I need my freeze back before I loose big dollars
in food. And the local repairmen take forever to get
here. Plus, most of them suck at it. The one guy
that is magic at this stuff is so far away, it is
hard to get him to come out (I insist on paying travel,
but he is swamped.)

Hi All,

Stormin' was correct. It was the relay. Details will
follow when I get some office time.

Many thanks to everyone who helped me on this one!
