Skangirl for Model Number LFUH21F7LM2 My 18-month-old Frigidaire upright freezer has a "deluxe electronic temperature control" (part 297366309) on the front of it. It's giving crazy readings lately. It will say it's 60 degrees inside the freezer; a minute later it says 9 degrees. An old fashioned thermometer indicates that the temperature is well below zero inside, just as it is programmed to be. There is no frost on the food inside; nothing is dripping. There's no indication the temp. inside is rising at all, aside from the numbers on the digital display. Sometimes it appears to work perfectly for hours at a time; then the temp. reading goes crazy. Eventually rising to a temp. that causes an alarm to sound. Sometimes it seems to come to its senses if I open and close the door. Not coincidentally, the wiring underneath the freezer may have been sloshed with a little water during a recent basement flood. (It didn't flood in that part of the basement but when we swept the flood water into the moat around the floor, it's possible that some water splashed into it. I've checked all the connecters underneath. Everything seems to be solidly attached. There's no visible corrosion or burn marks or anything out of the ordinary. (It looks like new.) We put it back in place and leveled everything per Frigidaire instructions to make it slightly higher in the front to help ensure a good seal on the door. Also tried their rec. to unplug freezer for 10 min. to reset it. I even tried it on a different circuit. None of that seemed to make a difference. Should I replace the electronic temperature control? I think it is a snap-in part, not something that can be repaired. If so, is it a simple task or do I need a pro to install it? Or is it likely to be something else? Thank you very much.
Answer Skangirl, Based off the information provided it sounds like you have a bad control board and would need to replace the board 297235200. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, June 25, 2013
