I have a Kenmore Side-by-Side refrigerator (106.58539700) that has just recently been having problems. Today was the second time that I came home and found that the freezer and fridge were warm. I played with the temperature knobs a little bit and it came back on a short time later, but I'm just waiting for it to stop working again. The lights and everything else still work, but the unit just stops cooling for some reason. I have only had the unit for about a year, and I'm suprised to find this sort of problem at this point. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

The cold control needs replacing. Thats the knob with the numbers that turn the Ref OFF and ON.
What I do is call my local Appliance Parts Store with my model no. They are extremely helpful .

WATER SPLASHING IN FREEZER AT ICEMAKER
THE FILL TUBE IN BACK OF REFRIGERATOR CAN SLIP
AGAINST THE FILL RESERVOIR CAUSING A PARTIAL BLOCKAGE
OR BECOME CLOGGED WITH ICE.
REMOVE THE ICEMAKER AND INSPECT THE FILL TUBE.
RUN WATER IN TUBE TO ELININATE BLOCKAGE AND CHECK
TEMP IN FREEZER. IF TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES, THATS
OVERKILL AND USUALLY A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP IT THAT COLD, NOT TO MENTION THE FILL TUBE FREEZING UP

Is there any way to tell if the problems lies with the thermostat versus the relay on the condenser, or the defrost timer?
