Update: Plugged my blow dryer into the fridge outlet and it works. Plugged it in set to off but (coincidence?) the fridge made a sound like it was powering on when I plugged the blow-dryer in. That was weird. ?
Now...youtube video about how to test the fridge element...
Hard to say what the sound was. It could be a relay or something similar. Having said that, if the hair dryer wasn't intermittent, there shouldn't be a loose wire in the receptacle. If the refrigerator plug is tight, I don't think the issue is at the plug. Most likely culprit is the heating element, but could still be the control board.
