21 month old Frigidaire upright freezer died. John P. • Enola , PA • August 02, 2019

Well Frigidaire decided to obsolete that part and "Has not provided an approved substitute". So, I have to scrap this freezer and pay $800 to $900 for a new one? Not! So I kept looking at subsequent freezer temperature controls and found part #...
