How to Troubleshoot & Replace Frigidaire AP5306797 / 297370602 Electrical Control

I found out that I had two things go wrong with my freezer so it was more complicated than just fixing a single problem. Did some studying of the cases on the Appliancepartspros website and came to the conclusion it was probably the controller so I ordered one and easily installed it. I could tell by the lack of beeping, plus the controller was now able to adjust the temperature on the panel. Couldn't adjust it before, was stuck on 3. After running several hours the temperature inside was still a bit too cold with the controller set at 1. More studying in the website, looking at videos and calling Appliancepartspros I came to the conclusion I had another problem besides the controller - the thermistor. I replaced it easily but even at 1 the temperature was almost at the coldest point so it was working but giving the wrong signal to the controller. The manufacturer's recommendation is to set it at 4 which would have set the temperature at the coldest in the range. I called Appliancepartspros again and they were kind enough to send me another thermistor which I easily installed. Now it works perfectly! I recommend this company without reservation. They are friendly, their parts prices are reasonable and they are easy to deal with! 

I searched for the problem on the Internet. I saw someone else had a similar issue that was fixed by replacing the electronic panel. I decided that was a lot cheaper than buying a new freezer and it worked! I just popped the old one out and slide the new one in and everything is working again! 

Our deep freezer quit working after a power failure. I was looking at spending $700 to replace it if I couldn't repair it. Using the Appliance Parts Pros website I was able to identify the most likely culprit: an electronic control panel found on the front of the freezer door. The part arrived in about two days--on the Saturday of Thanksgiving Day weekend! Installation took just a few minutes, and the configuration instructions were easy to follow. This was probably the easiest appliance repair I have ever done! 

Service call was going to be more than the worth of freezer, told my 93 yr. old mom let me see if I can get just the controller. Came the day after the notification of shipping. Took a small glasses screwdriver and pried the controller, it came right out, the new one plugs in, no messing with wires. done in less than a minute. Started right up.

I just inserted the new control electrical panel, freezer started working.

I ordered part number 297370602 on Monday, October 12 and received the part on Wednesday, October 14 just like you said I probably would. Great service! The price of the part was around $25.00 more than what Sears would charge and the $220.00 installation charge was non existent thanks to you. When the part arrived, I immediately installed it. It took me 3 seconds to remove the old one and about 10 seconds to install the new one. The freezer immediately started and has been running perfectly ever since. Thank you for the great product and great service. 

I received the part, took it out of the box, popped off the old part and snapped the new one in. It was incredibly easy and saved me the $480 the appliance repair person was trying to charge me (which I wouldn't have paid because that's the value of the freezer).
