Hi!!
It sounds like the start relay, start capacitor and overload need to be replaced. If you provide the units model, I'll find the parts for you and the installation/removal instructions.
That is one of the function of this components, to cut off power to compressor in case of overheating and the other is to help compressor to start up. Don't worry, you're OK.. Give me a few to look for the parts.
This model # ctx22dkc do not give me any results. Can you look it up for me again, please?
Let me check on another site. In the mean time, would you check if any of this capacitors is the one on your unit?
No problem, changing a capacitor is like plugin an electrical cord into a power outlet. If you check on the diagram, all a person needs to do is unplug the unit from wall outlet, look on the back of the fridge for the capacitor, which will be on the tip of the harness, pull it out, plug the new one in, connect power cord back into wall. If you call a tech, instead of spending $50 on the repair, it will turn into a close to $200 repair.
No problem. Good luck and Thank You for using FixYa. Don't forget to rate this post!!!

hi, plate on left side interior confirms model CTX22DKC serial number HZ548867 This model is like the top picture you sent but it has a ice/water dispenser in the right side of the top drawer. There are no other plates that i can find. sigh. hope this is of some help.

There are no other plates on the unit. sigh. sorry. Unit is like top pic you sent but has a ice/water dispenser in the right side of the freezer door. ( its not hooked up)
trying to post response. model confirmed via plate on inside wall. CTX22DKC, serial number HZ548867. like top unit in pic with water/ice dispenser in right side of freezer door.
hotpoint.com has model number... i have no idea what to look for in the specs. grin.
Well sir, unfortunately I have a physical problem which precludes me from being able to fullfill your request. I apologize for not being able to get to the capacitor. this also means i will most likely not be able to affect a repair without calling in a service tech.
I want to thank you for you help. I am sure the problem can be fixed in the next day or so. I appreciate your efforts muchly. thanks again.. big smile.
