Repair & Advice
Unplugged refrigerator, then used hex driver to remove cover for the compressor on the back. Vacuumed out dust from area. Removed relay cover (look up instructions), and removed both relay and overcurrent protector noting the pins removed from and wires connected to them. Used multimeter to check continuity of relay in closed position and overcurrent protector which read as an open circuit and was the cause of my issue. Once new part came in, I reversed all my steps.
