Your PTR relay on the side of the compressor has blown out. Just take cover off and pry off relay. Just order a new one. Sometimes they are a complete assembly with overload klixon inside.

Refrigerator started working the day after, but I noticed that it goes through defrost cycle, the fan in the back and the compressor shut off, the ice in the icemaker/freezer starts melting. water leaks out of the front bottom end of the freezer (is it suppose to have a pan or something to collect this water?). refrigerator comes back on after 1-2 hours.
