The refridgerator will not cool below 42 Degrees. I have looked at the evaporator and there is no frost build up. I have replaced the thermostat to no avail. The compressor runs and the evaporator fan works fine. Could this be a defrost timer issue? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I replaced the defrost timer today and the fridge cooled to 34F for a while but then went up to 50F again. Still sitting in the mid to high 40s range for a couple of hours.

You have refrigeration problems for a pro to look at. Either that, or your compressor start device is failing.

Pull the back off the fridg and check the compressor. If running and the condenser is warm but not hot, you most probably have a refrigerant leak and/or a bad compressor. Sometimes the compressor will shut down on thermal overload, but probably doesn't apply in your case. Only amprobe and gauges would confirm bad compressor.
