"If there is power to the appliance but it still seems to be stopped, there may be a problem in one or more of these:

Wiring

Thermostat

Defrost timer

Compressor

Overload and/or relay

Is the thermostat knob turned to the proper setting? If not, reset it.

Next, see if the compressor motor is running

The compressor is a football-sized case with no apparent moving parts. It's on the outside of the refrigerator at the back near the bottom. If it is humming or making a continuous noise and your refrigerator is still not cooling, there may be a more serious problem with one or more of several different components, I recommend contacting a qualified appliance repair technician for further help."
