My refrigerator will run fine for a couple of days then it will get warm.
I move the temp control both ways to get it to start again. Also it seems to run for a long time between cycles.
Thank you in advance!

When I got home tonight the refrigerator was again warm. The temp on the back wall of the freezer was 34 degrees.
Thanks

When the fridg fails, check to see what is running/not running.

Nothing is running. The lights come on, that's it.

Sounds like either the timer gets stuck in defrost too long, or the termination thermostat (round device clipped to the upper part of the evaperator) is bad. You can visually check the thermostat by removing the rear panel in the freezer section and see if the top of the disk is pushed up out of the device. Also alot of times the timer will make a ticking noise if it is going bad.
