Frigidaire Fridge/freezer works then doesn't work???

I have a Frigidaire Fridge/freezer model FRT18IL6DBB which is about 4.5 years old. At first I thought the light bulb had blown so I replaced it only to realize that the whole unit was behaving like it had no power. after a few hours it was back to normal, then a while later it had shut down again. The shutdown times increased to about 6-7 hours. Now after losing a load of food and having to use the beer fridge in the garage it seems to be working consistently again.
Any thoughts before I risk moving all my food back in???

Thanks.

Every 6-8 hrs your ref. goes into a defrost mode. sounds to me like your fridge is getting stuck in defrost, may want to replace defrost timer roughly 18-45.00 dollars depending were you live. also ive seen a few that the electrical cord in back were it goes into ref mid way up to the left behind cover can have some loose connections back their; remove panel covering and inspect. becuz if its the timer it wouldnt cause the light not to work so it may not be your timer if the light it turning off.also make sure your outlet is good and the prongs on power cord are not loose. hope this helps

3 year old Frigidaire upright turning ice cream to soup. Meat OK for now. Can't find the manual (of course) or locate the thermostat. Where is the thermostat? other ideas?

the fridge section will not freeze ice cream as the lowest setting 1- is not cold enough
The thermostat is normally on the side panel inside the compartment and is measured 1-10 with 4 being around the best setting
if you are referring to a 2 door fridge where the top or bottom section is the freezer, that temp will be preset in the factory and has nothing to do with the thermostat but indicates - door not sealed properly
compressor failure and needs a technician to check out the reason why

Check your circulatation fan. It may be stuck. Keep me informed The Raz Shack

My Frigidaire upright freezer is only 4 years old & isn't working

freezers have safety devices to protect themselves. The compressor has an internal overload to keep it from overheating. some have external reset buttons and some do not. either way the cause must be corrected. if the freezer was low on refrigerant you would see signs of oil near the coils, tubing, or compressor. If there is no leak, it overheats when there is airflow restrictions(dirty coils) or a fan has stopped working. only a few screws keep you from seeing all there is to see. If it is clean and the fan is running, then the compressor may just be the culprit

Freezer is 4 months old, when we closed the door it used make a vaccum sound like it was sealing now it no longer makes that vaccum sound.

it doesn't mean the fridge door gasket isn't sealing properly, if just means it has worked itself into a permanent seal. if you aren't having any problems with the fridge, don't worry about it.
