The frige is about 30 degrees and the freezer about -18. If I turn it off using the control if will stay off about 10 minuites then goes back on. There is no frost in the freezer & the fan is working in the freezer. Also, when I turn the frige off the drain hose makes a gurgle noise. Changing the settings does not change anything. The compresser was replaced in this unit about 4-5 years ago. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

From your description, it appears that the refrigerator thermostat is failing to shut the unit off once it gets down to temperature.
