Parts for Frigidaire F81M205BW0: 03 - Cabinet Parts

This cold control kit replaces the mechanical temperature control thermostat that regulates your refrigerator or freezer's cooling. Restore proper temperature regulation and consistent cycling when the original control sticks, drifts out of calibration, or fails intermittently.

• Senses compartment temperature with a capillary bulb and opens/closes contacts to maintain the set temperature
• Cycles the cooling system on and off for steady, reliable performance
• Common symptoms: too warm or over-cooling/freezing items, unit won't start unless the dial is moved, runs constantly, erratic temperature swings, unresponsive temperature dial
• Helps correct intermittent cooling caused by worn or pitted thermostat contacts

• Disconnect power before servicing; work in a dry area
• Access the control housing, note wire locations, and transfer wires to the new control one at a time
• Route and secure the sensing bulb/capillary exactly as original; do not kink or sharply bend it
• Set to a mid-range setting after installation and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

This hinge assembly supports and pivots the appliance door so it opens smoothly and closes squarely against the gasket. Replacing a worn or bent hinge restores alignment and helps maintain a reliable seal and temperature performance. What it does:

• Provides the pivot point and support for the door
• Helps keep the door level for proper gasket contact
• Can help resolve door sagging, rubbing, or binding
• Can help with doors that won't fully close or pop back open
• Addresses play, squeaks, or visible hinge damage

• One hinge assembly

• Disconnect power and support the door before removing hinge fasteners
• Note and transfer any shims/spacers from the old hinge to the new one
• Reuse existing hardware unless the manufacturer specifies otherwise
• After installation, verify door alignment and full gasket contact; adjust as needed

This replacement screw secures appliance components so brackets, shelves, trim, or panels stay firmly in place. Install a new screw when the original is missing, stripped, or corroded to restore a tight, rattle-free fit.

• Fastens brackets, panels, trim, or covers to the cabinet or liner
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce vibration and noise
• Direct replacement for a missing, rusted, or stripped fastener
• Use wherever your model's parts diagram specifies this screw

• Disconnect power before servicing; shut off water if working near water lines
• Match thread and length to the original location as shown in your model's parts diagram
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening (especially into plastic)
• Retain and transfer any original spacers or clips used with this fastener
