Call a service man. It's too close to Xmas to mess with. Unless you've got a good appliance place nearby. Nobody wants a dead fridge over the holidays. Where will you put the leftovers?
My main icebox is about to take a dump too, so I feel your pain. Keeping my fingers crossed till after the new year.
