the cold control part number is 5303300027 and it's around 55 dollars,you have a damper in the fridge and a cold control for the freezer,when it sticks turn the control or tap it easy,you want to make sure this is your problem,also one more thing i want you to check is the defrost timer,if this is sticking this also could cause this,remove the bottom kick plate and on the left side you should see the timer,there's a knob on it that you can turn,when it sticks you can turn it slowly,if it comes on you'll know it's the timer,there's a clock in it and it will go into defrost,when it counts down after like 20 minutes it will click out of defrost but they sometimes stick.if it is the timer the part number is 215846602 and that's around 30 dollars,start with the timer you should only have to turn it just a few clicks,if it doesn't run check the cold control.hope this helps you find your problem and if you can let me know what you find,thanks. the cold control part number is 5303300027 and it's around 55 dollars,you have a damper in the fridge and a cold control for the freezer,when it sticks turn the control or tap it easy,you want to make sure this is your problem,also one more thing i want you to check is the defrost timer,if this is sticking this also could cause this,remove the bottom kick plate and on the left side you should see the timer,there's a knob on it that you can turn,when it sticks you can turn it slowly,if it comes on you'll know it's the timer,there's a clock in it and it will go into defrost,when it counts down after like 20 minutes it will click out of defrost but they sometimes stick.if it is the timer the part number is 215846602 and that's around 30 dollars,start with the timer you should only have to turn it just a few clicks,if it doesn't run check the cold control.hope this helps you find your problem and if you can let me know what you find,thanks.

one more thing,you say when you hit it up on the freezer side,there's an evap fan motor that starts to run when the machine isn't in defrost,when the compressor starts some are quiet,are you sure it's just not the fan that isn't running or do you hear the compressor start also.just wanna run this by you.i've seen this happen before,the person doesn't hear the evap fan start and they think the compressor isn't running. one more thing,you say when you hit it up on the freezer side,there's an evap fan motor that starts to run when the machine isn't in defrost,when the compressor starts some are quiet,are you sure it's just not the fan that isn't running or do you hear the compressor start also.just wanna run this by you.i've seen this happen before,the person doesn't hear the evap fan start and they think the compressor isn't running.

I can hear the compressor start up..as soon as I smack it...I pulled the cold control and tested voltage to it while running....unplugged unit and plugged it back in..when I heated up the tstat rod sensor.
It still wouldn't come on. I then gently tapped the cold control and fan and compressor fired right up....thank u so much for your help..I think we've got this one nailed down...I really appreciate it I can hear the compressor start up..as soon as I smack it...I pulled the cold control and tested voltage to it while running....unplugged unit and plugged it back in..when I heated up the tstat rod sensor.
