So yesterday I moved my refrigerator to paint behind it.  I didn't unplug it or anything, just moved it forward so I could get behind it and then pushed it back.  This morning the fridge was warm (about 60 degrees pretty close to room temp).  I think the fridge is about 14 years old.  The last time this happened, maybe 6 months ago I vacuumed the coils and it seemed to fix it.  The coils don't look bad this time.  

I replaced the control board a few years ago.   Someone suggested replacing the wiring harness and defrost thermostat at one point.  It looks like that part (WPW10290745) can range from $65 - $200. Given the age of the appliance, is it worth it to try to replace that? 

As always, your advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt
