My Whirlpool refrigerator/freezer starts and stops all the time. When it stops I can get it to start again when I slam the freezer door a few times not the most reliable method and right now it doesn't seem to want to start.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Here are your parts Model SearchHere is some additional help http://www.applianceaid.com/refrigerator.html Check out #2, this would be at the top of my list Sounds like a bad/loose connection or a compressor relay. If the unit is totally dead re:no lights then you have a bad connection Instead of slamming the door wiggle the thermostat |

Turns out it was the thermostat which both of you diagnosed correctly.
Thanks again.
