Ordered new one, rattled when I received it. Called company and new one was sent. It too rattled so not sure about the rattle thing. It will cool for a day or two then not for a day or two. Sometimes when I turn the freezer temp dial all the way on and then all the way off and it will kick in again. That trick does not work all the time though. Please help.THANKS!

Tried here and the Sears site. If the unit has a condenser/compressor fan, it is often wired in parallel with the compressor. So if it is also off it means that the compressor is not getting voltage and he most likely culprit is your temperature control thermostat. Clicking is normal depending on the type of start relay. FYI here is a good site with info on how to check parts. How To Fix a Refrigerator - Appliance Repair Guide - ACME HOW TO.com

The real question is if the fan is working when the freezer is not. This is usually a symptom of a bad main thermostat re: the fan and the compressor are not getting any power. I cannot say for sure that the above is correct as I cannot find out how your unit is wired.
