Hi! It may be just the refrigerator stopping because it has reached the temperature set. When it stops, do not pull the plug immediately, instead, wait for at least 30 minutes. If it hasn't started by then, I suggest getting in touch with a local fridge technician. Parts for your unit are not readily available, unfortunately.

Hope this helps! If it does, please click on the Accept Answer button. I will greatly appreciate it! :)
