But from time to time, for the most part, temperatures will get warmer and there will be a humming noise. I was told that the humming noise came from the compressor and was a sign of a faulty relay and capacitor. Therefore, I went ahead and changed both parts. It worked great for a little but now the problem persists. If I turn it off for a little, it will start working again for a while. What gives?

A couple things to check: 1. Make sure the condenser coils are clean 2. Make sure the compressor/condenser fan is running

To fix a defrost you have to let the evaporator coils melt off the ice. The simplest way to check for a defrost problem is pull the evaporator coil cover and look at the coil. If it is heavily iced/frosted up then it is a defrost problem. You may havea low freon problem. You can tell this often if the evaporator coils are just frosty where the freon enters the evaporator coils. The following is a good link.
