The cold control needs replacing. Thats the knob with the numbers that turn the Ref OFF and ON.
What I do is call my local Appliance Parts Store with my model no. They are extremely helpful .
Get freezer and ref thermometer. Ref is probably too cold.
Freezer should be 0 to 10 degrees. Ref 33 to 35

WATER SPLASHING IN FREEZER AT ICEMAKER
THE FILL TUBE IN BACK OF REFRIGERATOR CAN SLIP
AGAINST THE FILL RESERVOIR CAUSING A PARTIAL BLOCKAGE
OR BECOME CLOGGED WITH ICE.
REMOVE THE ICEMAKER AND INSPECT THE FILL TUBE.
RUN WATER IN TUBE TO ELININATE BLOCKAGE AND CHECK
TEMP IN FREEZER. IF TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES, THATS
OVERKILL AND USUALLY A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP IT THAT COLD, NOT TO MENTION THE FILL TUBE FREEZING UP

Hi neferka,

Just allow the refrigerator to sit upright for at least 24 hours. This will assure oil returns the compressor. Then you can plug it in. Don't worry because it will not be damaged if you plug it after an hour. Here's how you'll regulate the temperature:

Initially set the cold control midway between the numbers (between the #3 and #4).After at least 2 hours adjust to the temperature that suits you. The higher the number you select, the cooler the temperature. After loading the refrigerator allow at least 24 hours for your refrigerator to reach a new temperature setting.




Hope this helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

725eleven,
I would contact your parts dealer near you and order a temperature control unit, marvel has had issues with cold controls in the passed. When they fail, they either run too cold or not at all. The only number I have for Marvel is 1-800-428-6644, they maybe able to send you the part you need or direct you to a dealer in your area. Not a difficult repair, a little time will require to replacement.
I hope this helps... I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gere_bf68e6055dd61249

Hi, you need to change the relay and overload on this. It is located on the side of the compressor. take the cover off the back of the refrigerator and you will see the compressor. These relays go bad a lot, here is the relay and overload.

Hello Chuck, Welcome to FixYa. As you are aware (or not) the sensing bulb (capillary tube is correct, as you suspected) is fixed to the thermostat body, therefore it must have the tube routed up to the evaporator careful not to kink it and it then fastens to the evaporator. It cannot be seperated. It is necessary to undo the evap. from the interior to fasten the "bulb" to the evaporator assembly. Since you've already jumped out the control to confirm it is indeed faulty you also know how it should fasten to the bottom by the grill. follow that cap. tube to see how it's routed. Some go up the outside back wall (which requires removing the back panel) and enter behind the evap. while some have a guided tube in which the cap. can be "threaded" or fed through. the exit hole by the evap. should have some "perma-gum" or puddy to keep moisture from migrating into the cabinet and prevent "short cycling" as well. Hope this helps clarify some uncertainty regarding the issue. Thank you for choosing FixYa. Let me know how you make out. Good luck. Regards, Macmarkus :)

it is locater on the outlet side of the evaporator.

have you tripped a breaker? let me know.

maybe the refrigerant has leaked out of the coil in the back of the fridge have you noticed anything wet by the fridge.
