Zanussi Fridge freezer wont work after defrost

[taylor5]

My husband defrosted the fridge yesterday and its not working since! We can reach the plug when defrosting so we just turn the dial down to 0, the method we use to defrost is bowls of hot water in the freezer and let the steam do the work..
Could there be something stupid that is causing this problem?
