the fans are running and the compressor is very warm almost hot to the touch. i can hear liquid moving in the compressor and it does turn on and off but i am not geting cold air coming out i am getting a cool air. do i need to replace the compressor or does it just need a recharge?

- it is a refidgerator only no freezer no frost on the coils at all. the cool air is not very cool at all. the fan in the unit is blowing there is no other fan.

First, please re-check to see if both fans are running, the condenser fan by the compressor and the evap fan in the freezer. Next, empty the freezer and remove the evap cover. look at the evap coils. Are they completly frosted up -- if so, you have a defrost problem - this will cause the condition you describe- IF they are not frosted, are only a few of the passes of coil frosted and some just wet with no frost? Then that means you need some freon. The fact that you have some cooling means that the compressor is probabaly OK.

- Ok, see what you mean, No you not have a condenser fan, only an evap fan. Makesure the compessor is running and not clicking. if it clicks then most likely the relay is bad. tunr the unit off for about and hour to let the comp cool and see what happens. However, if there is no frost on the evap coil it will need a charge, I still think the compressor is ok as these usually don't fail to mich with the Whirlpool units. Are you able to charge this unit yourself?
