Whirlpool Fridge Not Cooling - Replacing Compressor Relay

Whirlpool Fridge Not Cooling - Replacing Compressor Relay I have a 15 year old Whirlpool (model number gr2shkxkb01) that stopped cooling recently. I have done a bunch of research, and have determined that one of the main culprits is a dead compressor starter relay. I watched a ton of videos on how to replace it on YouTube, and it looked very simple. I opened the back of my fridge, and what do I end up seeing? I see wiring that is totally different than any fridge I saw online. My condenser fan is wired up to the compressor relay for power, not from the main power line. My problem now is how am I supposed to power the fan if I buy a generic relay replacement? All relay replacements, whether they are solid state or the old kind do not have the capability to power the fan.
