Hi Jake, thanks and yes it's hot to the touch and does not look like it's vibrating, fan is running but very warm in the fridge. Looks like time for a new fridge

Yes, time to go refrigerator shopping.
Now its very rare to see the compressor start relay go bad on the Frigidaire models, The compressor start relay mounts on the side of the compressor. If you have an ohm meter you can ohm that start relay for continuity, but like I said when I went out on service calls for Frigidaire with this same issue, compressor hot but not running/vibrating it would always be the compressor thats gone bad not the start relay.

Did you feel the top of your compressor as well to see if its warm and vibrating?
