Dave for Model Number kenmore 106.58787892 Hi, My refrigerator intermittently stops working. When this happens and I turn the thermostat down, the light will flicker. At this point the fridge sometimes won't start unless I leave the thermostat off for several minutes. When it does start it may only run for 5 - 10 minutes, in which case I go through this procedure again, or it might work properly for several days. I was originally thinking that this was a thermostat problem, but realize that it could also be overload protection or starting relay(s) problem. Thanks, Dave
Answer Hello Dave. If shutting off, it is the cold control. If the compressor does not run, it is a bad compressor. If overload was bad, it would never run right and cool. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, October 15, 2013
