Hello Snailsurfer. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the compressor is bad on the unit. It sounds like the compressor is building pressure and kicking on the overload until it finally equalizes and starts to run again. You will need to replace the compressor kit W10309994.

David, Have you removed the rear wall of the freezer compartment and checked for frost/ice on the evaporator coil, Did you check the thermostat wiring or the heater element for voltge, when the compressor is running ? You may have a faulty defrost timer or circuit 4388932 , causing the defrost heater to energize and the fridge would be trying to cool and defrost at the same time.
