Fridge shutdown

My fridge, after working for about 20 years, stopped some time in the night. By morning the contents of the freezer were half-thawed. I pulled the fridge out of its niche and unplugged it (plug is inaccessible otherwise.) I ascertained that the power is reaching it - the inside light worked - but otherwise it was dead. I transferred all the contents to another fridge in the garage. Leaving it plugged in to another socket I went to look up fridge repairers and fridge sellers. Unable to contact a repairman, I went back to the fridge and found it running. It is still running 24h later.I am hesitant to put it back in its place and return all the contents, because not knowing why it stopped makes me think it might happen again. Somebody in this group might be able to explain what causes a fridge to stop then start again, and let me know if there is a way to fix this or is the fridge on the skids.
