If it is coming from the compressor, it may be a result of the compressor not starting. In such a case it would usually get hot... until it failed completely.

I would suggest you disconnect power from the appliance until it can be fixed because if the compressor gets damaged, it will be $$$+ to replace it!

I noticed everything in the freezer was thawed. The frigerator itself is hovering around 60 degrees.
The compressor is responsible for the cooling in the whole appliance. If it is not running, all parts of the refrigerator will cease to cool eventually.

Then every once in awhile it makes a gurgling sound
Maybe the compressor does start up... sometimes?

Why can't they just put the model number on the front of a refrigerator?
That's where it is, as illustrated at the link provided in the very first forum message:

LINK > Please include Make and Model # in post

On the back sticker there is Z174822C next to the schematic.
That may be the part number for that sticker. It has nothing to do with the identification of the appliance, such information is rarely ever found on the back of an appliance.
