In modern refrigerators, the compressor are directly off when the evaporator frosting occurs means ice formed on the coils of evaporator it reduces the power supply for the compressor. When the compressor of the defrosting occurs so that the ice is removed from the evaporator coils.

How? Explain it.

Defrosting here refers to defrosting the contents inside the refrigerator (and not the cooling coils of the refrigerator itself). The moment the compressor stops working, there is no way the working fluid can reject the absorbed heat into the surroundings. Even more fundamentally, there is no pressure gradient for any flow in the refrigeration loop. So there's no refrigerator in the first place.
