Fridge not cooling. Compressor clicks on but won't stay on. Any ideas?

I cleaned the coils, both fans on the inside and outside are working. Compressor clicks on but after a few seconds it clicks off. I am guessing there is some type of relay or Sensor that is bad. The freezer and fridge section both don't cool

Any ideas?

Are you sure the compressor is actually turning on?

it turns on but then turns off, I kind of think it may be the switch relay

Had similar issue. Frost was building up on the fan so it couldn't turn
