sounds like the pump/motor bearings are gone hence the shreiking like a
banshee. it may be possible to replace the motor without pumping down
the system. depends on how old the fridge is. if the pump head cannot
be removed from the motor without cutting into the freon lines, then the
system will have to be pumped down by a certified freon guy. (at least
in california) in order to replace the pump. it may be possible to hire
a guy to do the pump down/refill without actually doing the work,
although i doubt it. or your other possible recourse, christmas is
coming you know, show her how much you love her and buy her another
fridge (j/k), i know i couldn't so.................

i stopped to think one day and forgot to start again
