I have Whirlpool fridge FF450 Elite. Though the fridge cooling is normal, after the night working find in the early morning all magic light flickering though the fridge compressor is working. The freezing compartment frosting is noticed. On switching off and then power on the fridge starts working again normally with no flapping of lights. The frosting deposit remains. This cycle repeats the next morning again,

whirlpool has a problem with the relayoverload thats plugged into the compressor. unplug the frig for about 5 min. then, while standing behind it plug it back in and listen. if you here a hum then a click, then you need to replace the relay overload. remove the back panel. the relay overload it plugged in on the left side of the compressor. very easy to replace

you have one of three problems and only one problem
the defrost timer is bad
the defrost heater is bad
the defrost thermastat is bad
only one of the above is the problem but no way to know without checking each part with and ohm meter

SOURCE: Fridge not cooling compressor works intermitently

If the compressor starts and runs for a few seconds it could be the relay. Or it could be the compressor itself has failed. When a compressor starts and runs for a short period it is possible that the relay contacts are arced together which would have both the start and run winding in the motor engaged at the same time for more than 3 seconds. This would result in the compressor tripping out on the thermal overload. It depends on what type of relay your compressor has. If it is a thermal relay, unplugging the refrigerator for about 15 minutes would allow the relay to cool off and reset.

HI. it looks to me like a failing fan motor . it stops sometimes, then you close the door, and it goes. or could be hitting ice. remove the back panel ov the freezer, and check the fan motor
