Can wait day, restart, OK for week or few days, then warm again. This is a smaller refrig downstairs, light usage. Wouls appreciate possible problem, parts replacement. Thanks, Steve.:confused:

Next time it stops cooling, tap on the control knob with a screwdriver handle and see if it turns on. If it starts to work, that thermostat is bad. However, that part is not available as a replaceable part. There is a generic that will work, though, available below. Pro TJ90SC1002 Universal Cold Contro - AppliancePartsPros.com

Pro TJ90SC1002 Universal Cold Contro - AppliancePartsPros.com Thanks for the info and part number, I will try tapping on the control knob the next few times it occurs, and buy the part if that is the solution.
