fridge appears to work, freezer the fan blow but does not get cold. what should I look for and what can it be ??
fan thru the coils seems to run constantly. I can hear a click like the pump is trying to start, stays for about 15 seconds then clicks off again. Little white box on side of compressor is what clicks. compressor is warm not hot.

Hi t:
It sounds like you either have a malfunctioning compressor relay, a bad compressor or maybe a freon leak which has caused the compressor to malfunction. Replacing the relay is an easy DIY fix and not too expensive. I found an overload and relay kit for about $32 + shipping. Replacing the relay would probably be cheaper than a service call to have the box looked at.
