John T. April 24, 2012 for Model Number FRT18KD4AW2 My refrdge works ok except there is no temperature control. The refrigerator compartment gets down to -20 below. The control knob can be on off-low or high and it makes no difference. Sounds like a temperature control sensor?
1 Answer Hello John. If the control 241537103 does not affect the temperature or the operation of the unit, you will need to replace the temperature control. Read More...
Elizabeth February 21, 2012 for Model Number Frigidaire LFHT1713LW First of all, I'm not sure of the last number for the model number above, your site gave me several when I did a search. My question is this, when I took the freezer backing off, there were no wires or anything else for that matter connected to the tempature control knob. It's just attached to the plastic housing. There's not even a hole in the metal sheet backing. Is this normal? If not, could this be why it keeps freezing over the stuff in my frige is frosen on the top shelf, water is in the bottom of the frige and why the freezer fan is constantly running? Thanks for your help, Lisa
1 Answer Hi Elizabeth. Is the cooling in the fridge at proper temps ? It sounds like the freezer evaporator coils (behind the back wall ) are frozen over and the fan is constantly running to satisfy the cold control. The top (freezer) back control is for the amount of freezer air to be dropped into the fridge. It should always be set for mid-point. If frozen over then the defrost heater circuit is not working. You need to advance the defrost timer to the 2nd heavy click to start the heater . If it does not come on then you have either a bad wire, bad defrost thermostat part # 5303918202, or a bad defrost heater part # 242044007. It is in my opinion that the thermostat mostly does not close at 14° or colder. If not closing, then your heater will not get the voltage to come on. you need to use a volt / ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to help. The thermostat in frozen conditions will ohm closed normally. (not open). The heater will read 8-18 ohms not open. Thank You. Read More...

Chris December 08, 2011 for Model Number 25374813400 Hi Have a fridge that was running for a bit then stopped,repair man said symptoms we described were probably a bad overload protector, replaced it didn't work, upon poking around I noticed that the temp control in fridge is just clicking, unless you turn it to zero. Is it possible that control is bad or thermostat inside it?
1 Answer Hello Chris. Test and see if there is 120 VAC at the compressor. If not, and the control clicks, replace the temperature control 241537103. If there is 120 VAC at the compressor, and it does not run, you will need to replace the compressor. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter.

Lach October 31, 2011 for Model Number glrt182saw5 I got a replacement temperature control switch but the numbers on the stickers are different and when plugged in it don't work. My old one has 60/30lra and the new one says 80/80lra. Does this have anything to do with it not working? Everything else is the same.
1 Answer Hello Lach. No, based on the model number you provided, 241537103 is the correct control. You will need to check and see if the defrost timer is stuck on, and is not allowing the unit to turn on. Turn the knob on the timer and see if the unit turns on. If so, you will need to replace the defrost timer. Hope this helps. Read More...
