My Refrigerator just quit abruptly, what could be the reason?

Just quit. compressor not hot. coils not dirty. not froze up. left unplugged for 24 hrs. Don't hear compressor kick on or any noise when plugged in. I'm thinking the compressor starter??Is there a way to test the compressor starter?

Ge 36" MONOGRAM with bottom freezer, very hot on back inside wall

Make sure that the condenser coil is not dirty. If so clean it. Have you actually seen the fan in the back of the unit running? It has 2 fan motors. One on the inside of the freezer and one on the back of the unit. The one on the back not working will cause it to get very hot and so will dirty coils.
