Power is on, freezer fan runs, but no cooling. Circuit panel working. Cleaned the coils which were filthy, and checked the compressor relay which appears good. Still no cooling.

It tries to come on, then clicks off in about 2 minutes. Next step? I guess I can try to verify power @ the compressor, but if it's clicking on/off, I assume it's receiving power.

That's what happens when the relay is NOT good

... then clicks off in about 2 minutes. .

... although, if it's running for that long, the Relay may be OK, and the Compressor may be bad.

You can always give the relay the ol' shake test....ie take it off, shake it and if it rattles, replace it.
Appliantology is, however appliances are not, an exact science for I know there are a few refrigerators that actually hate me.

The simplest explanation is most likely the correct and least expensive one, unless it's your compressor or motherboard" Occam as an appliantologist

"When you have eliminated all the impossible, whatever remains, however implausible, must be the logic truth; unless it's your compressor or motherboard." Mr. Spock as an appliantologist

"I think, therefore I have no earthly idea why this thing is not working...I got nothin'...". Rumored to have been uttered by a frustrated Descartes while diagnosing his GE Profile.
