whirlpool refrigerator will not start back automatically

Model Number: WRS325FNAH00
Brand: Whirlpool
Age: 1-5 years

HI EVERYONE...MY REFRIGERATOR WILL NOT START BACK AUTOMATICALLY...SO I WILL TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT ON UNTIL IT WILL START...ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT WHERE TO START LOOKING, I AM SUSPECTING THE THERMOSTAT CONTROL OR CONTROL SWITCH ...PLEASE HELP WHAT TO DO...MANY THANKS

I am assuming that when you do get it to start there is no repeated clicking etc. from the compressor re: it starts smoothly.

Yes the most likely candidate is the main control thermostat.
One way to confirm this is to turn the control up and down (not to off).
If it fires up then the odds are very high that the thermostat is sticking open.
This is not 100% sure that it is but the odds are very high.

im glad to hear that...to add more info, i stayed for some hours to see if the the compressor will restart...i tried to open and close door like a normal use and wait if the compressor will kick on, like maybe after 30-45 minutes it kicks on and stayed for 30 min then it will stop...waited again, and its like 2hrs still not turning on. so my
guessed is the problem is the thermostat, any additional info will be nice...and thanks for the help
