Marvel 6BAR MA fridge. New compressor 2yrs ago. Now runs only when it wants to but when it does it cools fine. Lowering temp knob does not trigger cooling, just randomly kicks on at any given time
Could be hours or days until it next kicks on. I'm generally pretty handy and hoping to be able to repair myself with the right parts, but not sure how to diagnose the issue. Could it just be the thermistor/thermostat or possibly the temp control or other electronic components?

Answers & Comments
Need to know if the compressor motor gets power, does it heat up on top? If it does, then the motor starting device or a electric connection would be defective.
If no power to the compressor and is ambient room temperature to touch, the controls are at fault, defrost timer, thermostat, connections.
Work carefully around power, shock and fire hazard.
