I checked the compressor and it runs along with the fan. My freezer is getting to 1.2 deg and the fridge is at about 40 deg. After some time they will start warming up. My wife turned both thermostats down then back to their original settings and everything starts running again. But soon after the appliance starts warming up again.

This tells us who actually made the unit. It sounds like you have an analogue thermostat (not electronic) from your description I would say that is the problem. It is sticking in the open position.

Mu wife turned the stat up and seemed to work fine for a week. Then it did it again yesterday. I thought the thermostat also but both the freezer and fridge warm up. Maybe defrost timer???

Replacement parts for KENMORE 10659562990 \| AppliancePartsPros.com I thought the thermostat also but both the freezer and fridge warm up. The freezer is what cools the fresh food side so if it warms up so will the fresh food. Maybe defrost timer??? I do not think so as turning the thermostat would have no effect on the defrost stopping and the compressor starting. It still sounds like a thermostat problem to me.
