Customer Questions and Answers for Temperature Control Thermostat (Freezer) by Frigidaire

This temperature control thermostat regulates your freezer's internal temperature by cycling the compressor on and off based on the setpoint. Replacing a failed control restores consistent cooling and helps prevent overcooling or warm spots.

• Senses cabinet temperature and opens/closes contacts to start or stop cooling
• Maintains the temperature selected on the control dial
• When faulty, symptoms include: freezer too warm or too cold, compressor runs continuously, or won't run unless the dial is adjusted
• Helps restore stable, predictable freezer performance

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Note wire locations; transfer wires to the new control one at a time
• Position the temperature sensor in its original location; avoid sharp bends or kinks
• Reassemble, set the control to mid-range, and allow up to 24 hours for temperature to stabilize
