Based on the model number of your refrigerator, the manufacturer has this service bulletin indicating a compressor failure: Some refrigerators may suddenly stop cooling. In some instances, louder compressor sounds may have been noticed prior to cooling loss. If the compressor is receiving proper voltage but the compressor trips the overload or just doesn’t run. The recommended repair is the replacement of the compressor, filter drier, and process/access valve. This is a sealed system repair so you would need to contact an EPA-Certified technician to complete these repairs. ( Check and verify if your unit is still within its manufacturer’s warranty period).
