Default Condenser shot?
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 106.50032003

yesterday evening When I got home from work I opened my freezer ( side by side )
and everything was thawing out, Fridg side still seem cold. thios morning it was getting warmer. this evening freezer is warm and fridg is now getting there.
fans are running non stop but no cold air.
Is it the condenser? I searched for parts and found listed between $265.00 to $310.00

Any help would be great thanks

Default Problem solved

Well after much searching and calling parts and repair centers what I found out helped.
I checked the defrost timer and it worked, compressor turned on but quickly turned back off. and also checked temp control by bypassing.
End result startup relay and overload were shot, simple fix of $ 37.00,
Wife wanted to scrap it and buy new, end result saved possibly a thousand or more dollars.
