Refrigerator or Freezer does not get cold. I replaced the cold control thermo couple after noticing that when the contacts were shorted everything seemed to be running. Tried to adjust the spring screw in the control itself but infortunately this just shorted the control to be always on and everything including the refrigerator ran constantly, freezing everything. The new control seemed to work at first but after the first cycle, everything stopped and did not turn on again. Could this be a defrost timer issue? If so, how can I check instead of buying more parts I don't need?

The solution was a good suggestion but unfortunately when I tweeked the defrost timer nothing happened. I thought I would mention that the refrigerator is in a cold garage. Could this effect the cycle if the condenser is in a cold environment?
Thanks for the specification, I didn't have that since I bought the unit second hand. However, eventhough it wouldn't operate proper temp, wouldn't the unit still cycle? I can still make the compressor and fans come on with shorting the contacts from the thermocouple control. Any other ideas?
