update: I changed round the start relays. The fridge compressor now works and the one for the freezer is now the inactive one. The fridge seems to be getting way too cold regardless of being on the lowest setting and the thermostat saying -35. And the freezer is now off so I am back to where I was before. I am stumped regarding what is occurring with it. If it is an issue with one of the start relays, why is the fridge getting too cold? why is the thermometer saying -35 regardless of the temperature being between 0-17? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
