Parts for Frigidaire F81M235BW0: 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 provides the pivot and support for your freezer door or lid, allowing smooth opening and secure closing. Replacing a worn hinge restores alignment and helps the gasket seal to keep cold air contained.

• Supports and pivots the door/lid during opening and closing
• Maintains alignment so the door/lid closes fully and seals properly
• Can help resolve sagging, binding, scraping noises, or doors not closing all the way
• Replaces a bent, cracked, or seized hinge assembly

• Disconnect power before service; wear gloves.
• Support the door or lid and use a second person to prevent drops or damage.
• Transfer any spacers, bushings, or covers from the old hinge if required.
• Align the hinge, tighten fasteners, and verify smooth operation and gasket seal.

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
