Frigidaire Freezer Temperature Control, Cold Control

The Temperature Control Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a crucial component that regulates the temperature within the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring optimal cooling and food preservation.

Symptoms of a need to replace the temperature control thermostat:

• Inability to maintain consistent temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer
• Excessive cooling or warming, leading to food spoilage
• Complete failure of the refrigerator to cool or maintain any cooling at all

Causes of a faulty temperature control thermostat can include general wear and tear over time, electrical malfunctions or wiring issues, exposure to moisture or condensation, or physical damage from impact or mishandling.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore refrigerator models.

This temperature control thermostat senses cabinet temperature and cycles the cooling system to match your set point. Replace it to restore consistent, adjustable cooling when the original control is worn or unresponsive.

• Senses cabinet temperature and opens/closes internal contacts to regulate cooling
• Cycles the compressor to maintain the selected coldness
• Common symptoms of failure: too warm or too cold, runs continuously or won't start
• Temperature knob has little/no effect or causes erratic temperature swings

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Photograph/label wiring; transfer leads one at a time to matching terminals
• Reinstall and secure the sensor/control in its original location; avoid sharp bends or damage
• Set to mid-range and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize after replacement

This temperature control thermostat regulates cabinet temperature by cycling the cooling system on and off. It helps your appliance hold the setting you select so food stays cold without unnecessary overcooling.

• Senses internal temperature and opens/closes electrical contacts to start or stop the compressor
• Maintains the setpoint chosen with the control knob
• Symptoms of a failing control include: too warm or too cold temperatures
• Runs constantly or won't run unless tapped/adjusted
• Temperature knob has little or no effect on cooling

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Note wire locations and take photos before removal
• Route the sensing capillary/bulb exactly as original; do not kink or sharply bend it
• Secure the sensing bulb in its clips and ensure good contact; set to mid-range and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

This temperature control thermostat regulates the cabinet temperature by cycling the cooling system on and off as needed. Replacing a faulty control restores consistent cooling performance and makes the setting dial respond correctly.

• Senses cabinet temperature via the capillary bulb and opens/closes contacts to start or stop the compressor
• Corrects issues such as no cooling/won't run (open control) or running constantly/won't shut off (stuck closed)
• Addresses erratic temperatures or a dial that has little or no effect on temperature
• Helps maintain stable, food-safe temperatures once adjusted

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; do not work on live circuits
• Remove the control housing/escutcheon, pull off the knob, note wire positions, and transfer any brackets as needed
• Route the new capillary in the original path; avoid kinks/sharp bends and secure the sensing bulb in the original clips
• Reassemble, restore power, and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize; adjust the setting as needed
