First thing to do is "get it out" where you can get to "stuff." and get the diagam, which should be pasted in the most inconvienient spot possible.
Second, determine if you have a mechanical (motor driven) defrost timer, or electronic, and if the motor is running. Any of these I've seen have a manual (screwdriver) override so you can turn them.
See if the compressor is running, and if not, try turning the defrost timer if mechanical. IF the compressor "clicks" off the overload and/or the case is hot, you have other problems.
Depending on the starting system, you may have a starting components problem--starting relay, start/ run capacitor, or even just a loose/ burned terminal.
If you can determine that the starting relay is ok, usually by replacing it, and the compressor STILL won't start, you've probably got a damaged compressor.
Frankly at this point, I'd probably have a "real" tech double check your findings. You would not want to toss a fridge with a good compressor when a 15.00 relay would have fixed it
Bear in mind that strange things can happen with defrost timers. It is possible to have a situation whereby the timer causes the compressor AND the defrost heater to run simultaneously. Not a good deal, there.
And, obviously, make sure the circulating fan in the freezer compartment is running. Note that it will normally be shut off in defrost.
And, make sure that it actually IS defrosting. A bad heater, plugged drain line, or again, problems with the timer, can allow ice buildup aroud the evaporator, which will stop cooling effect
