woke up this morning and started gathering breakfast stuff. opened the freezer and it was obviously not working. i have a thermometer stuck to the back wall and it was WARM! food was very frozen still because the compartment is stuffed full.

the fridge is getting electricity (lights come on). i jiggled the thermostat area and turned the freezer on cooler. nothing.. i started making repairman calls. i then heard the compressor turn on..it is now working and is back to less than zero degrees.

WTF? thermostat? defrost timer? or relay? parts can't be that expensive..can they? thinking of buying all three..and having them on hand for the next failure.
