One day it stopped working (light is still on, so it has power) so I turned it off and back on by way of the control knob inside the fridge. It cools down, but after about half a day it stops cooling. I can do this reset thing over and over, however not very practical. What is going on here? I looked through the forums but found most talk about a clicking near the compressor; I don't hear anything. What do I do? Thanks for your help.
