Replaced Freezer Thermostat recently but the Fridge and Freezer won't continue to cool after 2 days. It will work perfectly the first couple of days, but then the temperature will rise to 50 degrees in the freezer and 60 degrees in the fridge.
The compressor will cycle fine but will not get any colder. When we unplug it for a few hours it seems to re-set and the unit will work perfectly for another 2 days, but fail to maintain the proper temperatures again a couple of days later.
When it is working perfectly the temperatures in the fridge is 38-40 degrees and in the freezer 10-15 degrees. The unit is about a 1994-1996 model.
Please advise. MODEL NUMBER FRS26H5ASB5

Hi Tom,

I would suggest to replace the compressor start components.

- The relay kit Part number: 5304468029

- The run capacitor Part number: 5304464438

If it would not help then probably the compressor itself is bad.
