Compressor runs for about 5 sec. Fridge is not keeping anything cold and Freezer is not keeping anything frozen.
The sound your hearing is most likely the starter relay for your compressor. this is a common failure part for this model whirlpool. if the unit is out of warranty you can purchase part# 8201786 from any local appliance parts deealer, online at numerous parts suppliers or the easiest in my opinion sears partsdirect.com. the kit is a plug and play part and has very good instructions so that you could replace it yourself. the part should be less than 65-70 dollars.
I do reccomend that you unplug the refrig to prevent damage to your compressor.
If you have any further questions please leave a comment here and I'll be glad to assist you in any way I can. thanks Peyton
