Kenmore Elite bottom freezer making a clickbuzzzzzzclick sound

2 year old Kenmore Elite Bottom freezer refrigerator started making a noticable buzzing sound from the compressor area several weeks ago. It started happening every so often and over the past week it has gotten louder and more frequent. It has a definite click (like some sort of switch) before the buzz and a click at the end. The buzz lasts about 6 - 8 seconds and is happening every 4 to 5 minutes
The freezer has stopped keeping things frozen and the refrigerator is not as cold.

REFRIGERATOR IS MAKING A BUZZING SOUND, not cooling

You have one of two problems going on. Your fan is spinning at hitting the sides. Or your compressor is shot which seems to be more the problem and even though it is cold the humming sound is a warning for you that the compressor is shot and it is more affordable to replace the fridge then the compressor. Sometimes compressor can cost more then the fridge.
