    Our 21 year old Bauknecht fridge has worked fine up until recently…

    Just lately it has not been cooling consistently.

    It happily cools for a while and then warms up.

    If we switch it off and on again using the fridge dial it kicks it back into cooling mode.

    We are wondering if we need a new thermostat?

    Welcome your thoughts.

    Probably not the thermostat, if that was gone then you’d get all or nothing.

    Given the age it’s more likely to be a refrigerant system issue of some sort. By the sounds I’d guess at the compressor overheating and stalling but, it is a guess.

    In any event, at the age, it’s really not worth doing much with unless you really, really want to keep it for some reason.
