Amana Refrigerator Wont Cool Down - (Model # TM17TBW - Serial#: 9610225330 - MFG NO#: P1305901WW)

Hello all, First, I like to thank you all in advance for your help and guidance. Please forgive me if I post incorrectly. I have an old Amana refrigerator that has stopped cooling down. I have done the following and still cannot get the compressor to fire up: 1. Checked compressor pins for continuity (beeping ohmmeter) and all 3 pins work, 2. I have replaced the overload relay (see photos of the relay kit), 3. I have replaced the refrigerator defrost timer (see photo of defrost timer), and 4. I have replaced the run capacitor (see capacitor photo), I still cannot get the compressor to run. I hear it clicking but it won't turn over. After a few minutes, the top of the compressor starts to get hot, and it still won't turn on. I HAVE NOT changed the Defrost Thermosets yet. I have tested it, and my ohmmeter shows proper reading (see attached photo of Defrost Thermostat). I'm pulling out what's left of my hair trying to figure this thing out. I greatly appreciate any advice/wisdom/knowledge you can pass on to me. Thank you all dsadvct
