if the kergerator is moved on the casters there is a clunking noise in the compressor...as if there is a hanging metal ball of some sort inside the compressor hitting the side wall inside of it...

I don't think this is a problem. The motor inside the compressor is mounted on springs. As long as it only makes the noise when you move it I think you have no worries there.

if I turn the the thermostat all the way colder the compressor will not kick on...
If i turn the fridge off....then turn it full clockwise cold...the compressor *may* turn on...most times not....
There appears to be a fault here...I *may* be wrong but this does not operate in anyway shape or form to any other fridge I have ever had...

Some t-stats have a constant cut-in temperature. For example, let's say the cut-in temp is preset at 41*, this means that wherever the t-stats sensor is located would have to reach that 41*. So turning it colder would not necessarily turn the compressor back on.
You mentioned a 1 to 2 min cycle on time. How long is the cycle off time with the door closed. Set the control as cold as it will go & let it run for a few hours. Check the temp periodically but remember that each time you open the door you defeat the purpose so try & be patient. A remote sensing thermometer would be best so you wouldn't have to open the door.
