Unhappy refrigerator humming noise...compressor..?


Ok, this happen two weeks ago, I unplugged the fridge and it went away.
But now its back.
Every few minutes I hear a humming noise coming from the fridge. I almost sounds like a compressor trying to kick in, then after it humms for a few seconds I'll hear a click and goes away. I have a freezer w/ a water/ice dispenser. That works fine. And the freezer and fridge are both cold. I have no idea what this noise is or how to make it stop
Please Help....

OK...update
I narrowed a few things down. It seems that the noise is coming from the freezer controls. When I turn off the freezer temp and turn it back on, it makes the noise again as if the compressor is trying to turn on. It doesn't do that when I turn off the fridge part.
It stopped again last week after I posted, but now it is happening again. Also, it seems like the freezer is still blowing in cold air, but not cold enough because the ice si starting to melt.
HELP!!!
