Fridge cools off and on

OurTT has a Magic Chef fridge in our outside kitchen , only 2 years old. When plugged in now it starts to get cold then thaws out. Cold, warm, cold, warm and on and on. Any ideas why ?
  • How about a MODEL Number.

    Magic Chef has several versions and some are NOT for RV use or Inverter Power

    Otherwise it's just a guessing game :H

  • That is a simple compressor fridge.
    Items to check:

    Is the RED defrost button stuck ?
    Thermostat capillary tube in it's bracket and secure.
    Is compressor motor getting hot...overload trip
  • Thanks for the info. Red button isn’t stuck. Will check the others.
  • Thermistor

    It is telling the unit it is cold enough.

    Happened on my Fridigidaire Gallery caught it too late
