Is the freezer side still keeping cold? Its the refrigerator side thats warm?
Fan in the freezer is blowing?
Its extremely rare a new compressor compressor start relay would go bad again in 2-3 months, who installed it? You? Or a tech.?
Follow the guide here:
[FIXED] How to replace a (Whirlpool/Kenmore Model 106) Refrigerator Start Relay
Here's the compressor start relay for your model:
Manufacturer part number 8201786 is RepairClinic item number 1177466

Ok, recheck your compressor start relay per that guide.
If it rattles when you shake it, its bad.
If no rattle you will need to ohm test it for continuity while the refrigerator is unplugged.

No specs. it either ohms good or not.
Cant be the capacitor, thats just your run capacitor, not the start capacitor
