Lights all work and it cools great while it's running. I replaced the defrost timer but this hasn't fixed the issue. I have no idea what could be wrong that I'm fixing by banging it but it works every time and I have been doing this for at least a week.

To confirm this instead of banging it just rotate the control up and down (not to off). If the unit fires up then replace the thermostat.
