Upon opening it, the refrigerator section is not very cold and I didn't hear fans blowing. I opened the freezer and my ice has melted, no coldness at all. The light does go on when the doors are open. I tried different outlets, tried the breakers, I don't feel it's an electrical issue. It's like the fridge is totally dead otherwise and hopefully I don't lose all my food! I'm not familiar at all with refrigerators, so hoping for help in simple terms. Thanks much!

He said everything else looked beautfiul except he got "nothing" from the compressor. After quoting the parts and labor, looks like I'm buying a new one. :( I appreciate your links and help. They were great.
