I have a problem similar to "Dan." The freezer is fine, but the refrigerated side is warm. If I turn the thermostat to coldest, then tap the housing, the damper opens. When I turn it down, the damper closes. When I turn it back to coldest, the damper stays closed until I tap, then it always opens.
I had the assembly out to inspect, and found that on the thermostat, there is always continuity between the black terminal (hot wire) and the pink wire that runs to the damper control. This was true no matter where the knob was set. I didn't think to tap it until I put the assembly back.
I know that I could replace the whole assembly, but wouldn't it be cheaper to replace just the thermostat? Is it sold that way, or is there a reason to replace the whole thing? Thanks.

Answer Timothy,
Based on the information, it sounds like the temperature control 240383703 is faulty and would need to be replaced.
My freezer keeps freezing up! Someone mentioned that the defrost timer may need to be reset. Where is the timer located on this model Frigidaire? Model #FRT18S6AWY

Answer Hello Allison. The timer 215846602 is located inside the control ont he unit. It sounds like you may have a defrost problem with the unit. Check and see if there is any frost build up on the back wall of the freezer. If so, you will need to test the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat. They should read closed for continuity when cold. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. I will include a link at the end to assist you how to use the multi-meter if needed. If both parts are good, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Once the problem is repaired, you will need to thaw out the ice on the coils before the unit will operate properly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

The freezer and refrigerator are not getting cold. Both fans run all lights are on and I think the compressor is running. When I turn the switch to zero, I can here a click like something shut off. When I turn it back on, another click that is telling me it is starting up again but no cold air.

Answer Hello Steve,
You need to verify whether the compressor is running or not. If it is, you have most likely experienced a sealed system restriction or freon loss. If it is running, you will need to check the connections to the compressor from the control board. If voltage is not present frm the control board, it will require replacement. We can render further assistance if we could Please get you to verify the model number. It doesn't pull up as valid.
My refrigerator is getting to cold (freezing). I had to turn the temperature control knob to 0 for it to stop freezing. Up until being right on 0 turning the knob made no difference in temperature. What is most likely to be the problem?

Answer Hello Jason,
This sounds like the damper assembly has failed. The first thing you need to do is to make sure there is no frost build-up that is preventing the damper from closing. In periods of high humidity, there can be a frost build-up develop during the amount of time it takes to put the groceries away if the door is left standing open for the duration. If there is no frost build-up in the damper assembly, replace the control box assembly 5304482075 which is the assembly you order to get the damper assembly.
