That could be caused by another appliance being plugged into the same circuit
The circuit breaker could be weak allowing this to happen.
Those two items I would look into since it is VERY unusual for a refrigerator to do this.
Another slim chance is that the defrost heater or defrost circuit is shorted causing this problem. Many refrigerators work on a 12 hour defrost cycle so you might check into that also.

Thank you, hvac1000,
Only the refrigerator is plug into the circuit.
How do I know if the defrost heater is bad?
Defrost circuit: adative defrost board+defrost heater+defrost thermstat+temperature control?
