Frigidaire 241537104 Fresh Food Temperature Control OEM Part

This issue was with a refrigerator that we acquired with a house we bought. The freezer was cold, making ice well, overall doing great. The refrigerator was not cold however. I had this issue with our own refrigerator in the past, and it was related to the defrost fan not working and the coils freezing up. However this refrigerator's coils had no ice buildup. Doing some searching on the internet I was able to narrow it down to the damper between the freezer and refrigerator not opening correctly to allow cold air in. I chatted with someone on the Appliance Pros site, and reviewed the issue, they agreed with the probability, so I ordered that part. The installation was fairly easy, I found a video on YouTube that helped as well. Overall things went well!

Replaced cold control. Suspect it wasn't sensing the temp. If you shut temp all the way off, the damper door would close. Three things made the replacement a little harder than it probably is. First, my vision isn't the best as I'm 61 and even with glasses my field of clarity makes it where I had to stick my head in the frig to see what I was doing. Two-the screws are in recessed holes and my standard socket head bits are too big in diameter and wouldn't go all the way down to reach the screw. What did work was one of the screw driver bit holders. It was the right diameter to go in even though it was just a bit of a loose fit. Another holder was too big to fit. Lastly-getting the foam damper assembly took some careful prying to break loose. It is glued in.

Replaced with OEM thermostat

Replaced fresh food temperature control and everything seems good now. The part was stupid expensive for what it is.

I ordered the fresh food temperature control and replaced it. I watched the repair video first and that was very helpful. It wasn't very difficult just a little annoying working in a small space.
