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

This mechanical temperature control thermostat regulates the cabinet temperature by cycling the cooling system on and off. Replacing a worn control restores consistent temperatures and responsive dial adjustments. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and opens/closes electrical contacts to control cooling
• Helps maintain set temperature for proper food storage
• Common failure symptoms include: too warm or too cold temperatures, erratic temperature swings
• Other symptoms: unit runs constantly or won't start cooling; dial has little or no effect

• 1 temperature control thermostat

• Disconnect power before service; work with dry hands and proper PPE
• Photograph wiring and note terminal locations before removal; transfer wires one at a time
• Route the sensing bulb/capillary exactly as original; do not kink, pinch, or shorten it
• After installation, set to mid-range and allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize
