Frig not kicking on after the defrost mode. Replaced the defrost timer, I think it did help some. Now it works for maybe 1/2or3 days, then won't kick on again. When I open the freezer door & or tap the temperture control thermostat it starts right up. Again it may last 1/2/ or 3 days and then do the same thing. Wanted some confirmation (reasurance) that there is a good chance that the Temp Control Therm is what I need before spending another 60.00 bucks. Thank you for any help.
Sounds like a t-stat to me. Next time when it does it, turn t -stat off and back on. If it comes on, replace it .

Checked the switch in the freezer and it was bad. Odd time for it to go out, but it was not working and it would work intermittently if you shook it.

YES YOU GOT IT,IT'S THE BOARD BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE CHECKED OUT GOOD,BOTH FANS,HEATING ELEMENT,DEFROST THERMOSTAT,THE ONLY OTHER THING I WOULD DO IS TURN THE THERMOSTAT OFF IN THE FRIG.TO SEE IF THE COMPRESSOR AND FANS TURN OFF,WAIT 3 MINUTES AND TURN IT BACK ON, IF THAT CHECKS OUT THEN IT HAS TO BE THE DEFROST TIMER,LET ME KNOW-MIKE

There is a vent that is connected from the freezer down to the fridge right where the fan is,make sure nothing is blocking it.

It should still be covered under the warranty.
How to check
everything
http://www.acmehowto.com/howto/appliance/refrigerator/refrigerator.php
check defrost timer, defrost heater, defrost thermostat. In
most newer models the timer has been replaced by an electronic control board.
If the heater and thermostat are ok it’ll be the control.
You can turn the defrost timer till it clicks
and everything shuts down. The heater should now come on. If it does, replace
the timer. If it doesn't, check the heater and defrost thermostat. Turn the
timer again till everything starts back up to end the defrost cycle.
SOURCE: automatic defrost not working, but manual is?
Yes if the heater and defrost thermostat are good then the problem is the control board.
Now, this might not solve the problem of course, but its areas to think about. 347 views
