Most probably you have burned out the compressor if the fridge isn't working at
all. This is an expensive replacement and, depending on the age of the fridge
it is probably more cost effective to replace the entire fridge particularly if
that means upgrading to one of the more energy efficient models.
I once had a very big Kenmore with the cooling coils underneath and a fan to
blow air over them. that fan developed a problem with a bearing which made a
lot of noise so I got rid of it before moving. when I got here a friend had the
same model and that fan too rattled like a modest diesel running in the kitchen
when ever it was on. You may have been having a similar problem to the point
where the fan seized up followed by the compressor overheating. Maybe the noise
was just the compressor bearings going. The compressor though is a sealed unit
so it all must be replaced.
It is possible that something else is faulty like maybe the thermostat so it
just never turns the compressor on in which case the noise you heard was not
likely directly related to the failure of the fridge.
Call a technician and risk the price of a house call then you can decide the
cost of repair over the cost and benefit of replacement.

I have a question regarding a Kinmore freezer. It started to make a loud
noise, witch I felt that because it is so hot here in florida;that everyone was
using everything to keep cool, then the noise would go away. But after a month,
it just stop working. Can someone tell me what I may do to fix it? O, I
refused, last year to renew my warnty.

It sounds like you are saying the thermostat is moving on its own. That would
be reason enough to replace it.
