It comes back on and refreezes the semi-thawed food.Everytime I think its ok it stops working again.Not sure what to do.Maybe an easy fix? Any advice would be great. Thanks

Refrigerator Repair Guide: How To Fix a Refrigerator - ACME HOW TO.com In most newer models the timer has been replaced by an electronic control board. If the heater and thermostat are ok it’ll be the control. I need your model number to know what you have.
