Jiggling the temperature control slide switch seems to get it to start up and everything works fine. It gets to appropriate temp, then shuts down as expected. However, doesn't start back up when it should. Do I have a bad temp. control part or some other problem?

Based on your description, I would have to suspect a bad control or linkage to the control(possible but not likely). Which control slide are you jiggling ? the freezer or the refrigerator control. Refrigerator control / damper assembly Part number: AP72267 Freezer control Part number: AP4253320 Good Luck, :) :) :)
