B J August 24, 2018 for Model Number FCM5DRBWH How do you remove control cover in order to replace cold control(thermostat)? Does it just pry off, or are there clips etc? Would like to get the cold control part ordered today. Thanks.
1 Answer BJ, you don't remove the "control cover" to access the cold control. Remove power to the freezer, remove the louvred grill cover from the side of the cabinet. Remove the control knob(slides off) and remove the mounting nut. Label and disconnect the wires to the control, remove the caulking compound around the capillary tube where it enters the cabinet and extract the temp. control thermal bulb from the cabinet. Reverse the procedure and check the freezer for operation. Read More...
B J August 23, 2018 for Model Number FCM5DRBWH Our GE 5 cu ft frrezer is freezing ice cream rock solid, to where you can't literally get it out. Normally set on #4 for years. Have lowered contol knob over time to #1 but nothing has changed. Box temp currently at approx. -15 F. Would the cold control be the problem? A relatively easy fix? Thanks for help.
1 Answer BJ, it sounds like your thermostat is defective and letting it run too long, you will need part number WR09X10134 Read More...

Brian April 08, 2013 for Model Number WR09X10134 Hello, I have a GE Deep Freezer model # FCM7DRBWH and I was tracing back a short when I found that the cold control part# WR09X10134 has no resistance between the hot and neutral connection when it's on. The freezer still works fine, but does this indicate an internal short in the cold control or is this just how it works? I wanted to know before I bought the part on your website if I really needed it or not. I appreciate your input. Thanks, Brian
1 Answer Brian, The cold control should have continuity in the on position if the unit is not showing cold enough to active the switch. The internal working of the cold control is that when the unit is running there is power running through the control. Once the thermostat bulb reads the proper temperature the contacts open until the thermostat reads that the temp is higher than normal. Then it closes back and there would be continuity. Read More...
