Slight vibration on compressor. Condenser fan running. Lights on. Also replaced defrost timer. However neither side of refrigerator is cooling. Any suggestions. :)

This will be an expensive repair as you need a pro. Often it makes more sense to put those dollars towards a new unit.

The unit cools on the freezer side to 28* then shuts down and goes to 40*. when it shuts down I touch the compressor and it is very hot. Do you believe I still have a sealed system problem? What does that mean exactly?
