Do you hear the fan running? The refer side doesn't have its own cooling. It gets it from the freezer. So if the fan doesn't work or the defrost doesn't work you will not cool the refer. Check two items. Defrost timer, fan
You need to replace the temperature control, (unless you find a bad wire connection to the temp control first). You can find a control that is close enough at any appliance parts store, bring the old one in for a match up. Make sure it is NOT a 39 degree constant cut in type and you will want a differential of at least 6 or 8 degrees minimum so that it wont "short cycle" which means it would run for a few minutes, shut off for a few then run again before the high side pressure comes down.
It could be a defective defrost timer if you have lights and NO fans running nor compressor starting you maybe able to tell if it shut off about every 5-8 hrs. Now if it shut off after every cool cycle then I would tap the refrig temp control with a firm tap if the frig starts then it is a defective operating thermostat.
You will have to remove the inside rear freezer panel .The # 4 thermistor is bad . This tells the main control board , the temp of the coils , if they need defrosted , when they are thru defrosting . This thermistor is the 1 " long , torpedo looking piece , clipped on the top left of the coils , with 2 white wires going to it . Part number WR55X10025 . It would be advisable to also replace the # 5 thermistor , located at the bottom of the freezer , slightly in front of the drain , also with 2 white wires going to it , slid into a housing . This thermistor , is the freezer thermistor , which tells the control board , the freezer temp and when to cycle off due to temp setting .
Hi, this problem is going to be with the running thermostat (cold Control). It has gone bad and stays open which in turn will keep the compressor running continually and will cause the fridge to get colder and freeze food. It can normally be located in the control panel inside the fridge (it is the control that has wires, the other is the damper). Locate the thermostat and replace it. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to comment again. Good Luck!! Mike
You have a bad thermostat ( the piece where you adjust the coldness of the refrig ) . Once it gets to temp and shuts off , it will not tell the system to start again . Next time not running , tap on the t-stat . If it starts , this tells you the thermostat is bad .
Sounds like bad cold control. Replace it. I cannot see your repyl due to some tech issue w/ the site, so it may be a day or so before I can reply again. Please leave feedback for me if appropriate. Thanks
