Does it buzz and then go click? After about 3 minutes buzz again and go click? How old is it?
The newer refrigerators switch in the starting windings with a thermistor. When the thermistor disc cracks into several pieces it does not conduct the phase delayed winding to establish the rotating field to induce a current in the rotor so it just sits there and draws lots of current until the thermal protector on the motor switches off.
Don't let it do this too long.
