Here's my tentative conclusion on this sad story.

The culprit is a poor design of the fridge, such that

1) It cannot restart with the compressor hot
and
2) It does not wait until the compressor gets cold.

The above could have been corrected with $5 worth of parts and a LED
light.

Yup! They've been like this for about 50 years, now!
Very possibly, the refrigerator was fine all along, and just needed to
rest for an hour before a restart.
I tried to tell you this a few days ago.

Jon, yep, you are right. But the good news is that fridge is not
fried, is back in service, etc.
