I believe there are also some snap disc switches in the system that trip when overheated. Maybe one overheated, then when you shut it off it cooled and reset.

The fridge had been OFF for three days when it started working again. And, strange situation, it came back on without my help -- I had put everything that would survive at around 40* into a portable cooler, and turned the fridge off. It was totally off -- no inside lights, etc.
I just want to find out what caused the problem so I can try to fix it.
