I had to defrost the top of 3 coils in the freezer section of my side-by-side 21 year old Kenmore refrigerator. I used a hair dryer for speed but now the compressor won't come on. The light inside the freezer dims significantly and the compressor tries to start up for about 1 to 2 seconds then trips off. Any help would be appreciated. Or did I really screw things up?

Seems like your compressor is drawing high current and tripping the overload. You can try a new start ptcr WR07X0198 on it, a black plastic square thing that plugs into the compressor terminals.
