Does the evaporator fan (inside the freezer compartment) also turn off when the compressor turns off after you have moved the temperature control thermostat to start the compressor?
If it does then check if the thermostat is OK. It has a simple make contact that operates to turn on the compressor and the evap fan and when the set lower temp is reached the contacts open to stop the compressor and fan. When the temperature rises to above the preset upper limit the contacts make again to start the compressor and fan.
