Refrigerator & Freezer Repair

Frig will quit and we notice it's getting warm and ice isn't hard.
I will turn the temp know up and down and sometimes it will start back up and sometimes it won't for a while. Then it will start and work well for a couple weeks and then it will do it all over again. Had a repair man come out and it was working. He replace the timer and said see if that would fix it. It ran for a week and did it again today

Here are your parts.

Sounds to me more like a thermostat (Item 13 in Section 3) problem.
I am assuming this is what you turned to get it running again.
It is not uncommon for these to stick open so the compressor will not start.
