    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?
