Fridge Makes Ticking Sound

hi,

we have cheap fridge “Hotpoint”, which you usually see in rented apartments. Today it stopped function normally. It makes ticking sound. (like clicks with 1/2 interval) and it does not start the compressor.

We will replace it with new fridge within week, but I wanted to revive this one for short period of time just to save food inside. Does anybody have any ideas, what is wrong with it.

The inside light is working (so electricity is there). Turning temperature regulator does not help. Pulling cord for 10 minutes does not help.

thank you.
