I checked the outlets and the dial inside the refrigerator. I checked behind the refrigerator as well. Could it be the start relay? When I plug it in there is no noise at all. Thanks

Yes it could be the start relay. I would unplug the unit Then disconnect the two wires at the control thermostat. Short them together. Make sure they cannot short to anything else. Then plug the unit in. If it fires up then you have a thermostat problem. You could also check if there is power to the compressor/relay. Whichever is the easiest. Below is a good site with fridge info. How To Fix a Refrigerator - Appliance Repair Guide - ACME HOW TO.com

The thermostat is the device that is controlled by the knob (item 15) in the parts. There should just be two wires going to it.

The green is probably just a ground wire (attached to the thermostat case). Check this as I cannot get a wiring diagram and therefore cannot confirm this. Then plug the unit in to see if it starts.
