This afternoon, I opened it up and everything was de-thawing. So I guess this morning, something burnt up. I am uncertain how to find the problem. Please help.

That part goes out all the time. It is cheap, and worth you doing it. The part Is not more that about $45.00 to 60.00 depending on where you get. Its either you take the c hance, or buy a new refrigerator. Your chances for success is about 90%. Tom
