Fridge will cut back in again when you tap a certain spot

I have a Whirlpool side by side and it will stop cooling just whenever. I often will tap on the bottom of the controls and it will start running. do you have any ideas? Thanks,

Hi, You likely have an intermittent device such as a timer or cold control that is affected by the vibration you provide. If you can remove the cover for the controls and determine exactly which component it is, all you would have to do is replace that device.

If there is only one device there where you're tapping, then there you are.
