Freezer Cooling Shuts Down Randomly

My Whrilpool WZF79R18DM upright freezer shuts down randomly it does not lose power though. I can reset it by turning the power on an off to the machine or by holding down the quick freeze buttons on the inside. However it will randomaly shut down again sometimes within and hour sometimes a week. And it will not reset itself. So if I don't use the freezer for a day or two everything melts. Any suggestions or frequent issues I can check to find out what the problem is?
