Good deal, I think you have it. The defrost timer is a good preventive maintaince measure. Tom

Had the temps about where I wanted them. It seemed to working fine, cycling on and off and some time today it cycled off and didn't come back on. Turned it off and back on using the knob in the refrigerator and it started to run again and seems to be running fine again. Could this be the defrost timer "sticking" or something like that or?? Puzzled!

And I was able to reach down and feel the defrost heater heating up. BUT now the compressor shuts off, like normal and does not seem to cycle back on. Most of the time you rotate the freezer knob to off and then back on and it starts to work again. The control behind the top, freezer knob or???

Since the compressor has run for most of day when the other problems were there don't think it is the problem?
