Did you know that refrigerators and some other appliances such as
dishwashers have secret service information tucked into their bottom
kick panels? Remove the bottom plastic kick panel/grille thingy and
you should find a folded up piece of paper with service information.
It may or may not be useful in this situation, but it's worth a look.
Sometimes they show how to run secret diagnostic tests and such.

Another good source is http://www.repairclinic.com/ . They mostly want
to sell you replacement parts, but if they can clue you in to what you
need to do and sell you a part at the same time, you'll both be happy.
