If it still is running constantly probably a refrigerant leak or worn compressor. A compressor running constantly will waste about $100 per month.

How do you know if there is a refrigerant leak,(could it be a stuck defrost timmer)?

If a dollar bill is pushed between the door frame and the gasket and it can be pulled out easily, you have bad gaskets and/or a broken one under the fridg door. If bad, sometimes you can smear vaseline on them, duck tape them shut overnight and see if that helps.
