Mary H Seattle , WA August 07, 2015 Appliance: Frigidaire Refrigerator PLRU1777DS0 Frigidaire refrigerator only was not keeping temperature and would stop running thus get too warm I determined that this was the part to get based on a previous reviewer's post who had a similar problem. I bought the controller, it shipped quickly and I received it two business days later. I followed the instructions of the previous poster and had the device installed in about an hour. The most difficult part or should I say tedious part was unscrewing and then replacing the panel and screwing everything back in. The refrigerator keeps temperature now and turns on periodically as it should.

Mike H Lebanon , OH December 05, 2016 Malfunctioning refrigerator control thermostat Easy to install. Looking at the parts diagram that came with the unit when purchased, it was simply to unplug the unit, remove the crisper box supports and then the screws holding the rear cover. In total, the entire process took 15 minutes. Normally, this would have been an expense if you brought in an outside serviceman, diagnostic fee, parts, labor, etc.....what was a $100 part, not including shipping (I had this over nighted)....250-300 repair.

Bruce K San Clemente , CA September 13, 2023 Appliance: Model PLRY1778ES5 Would not kick on. The fridge got warm. But moving the temp dial I could get it started, so I figured it had to be a faulty control unit. I purchased one, also after reading others who had the same symptoms. The total repair probably took me 10 minutes. Another 15 minutes were spent detailing the inside, and now we have a fridge that looks and runs like new!
