I plugged a faulty appliance into a wall outlet but now the outlet doesn't work. Can anyone help?

Recently, I was trying to fix my refrigerator which has been acting up. I came to find out that after checking for continuity on the compressor that the compressor was dead. Eventually, the refrigerator stopped working and now the outlet that the refrigerator was plugged into does not work. The refrigerator is a throw-away and I will need to replace it. No big deal. However, I have also noticed that other outlets in the vicinity are also not working which means they are likely along the same circuit as the defective outlet.

I am somewhat handy, so I have checked and reset all of the circuit breakers on the main breaker even though I did not see any of them tripped. Additionally, I also reset all of the GFCI receptacles in the entire home and checked for power going into and out of the GFCI from the back. Still, the outlet that the faulty refrigerator was plugged into along with the other outlets downstream still do not work.

Any suggestions besides calling an electrician? I’d prefer to do this job myself to save a healthy bill. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!
