Update I talked to a refrigeration repair guy. He asked if frost was on the cold plate. There isn’t any frost so he says the system is low on Freon. He is coming out to recharge it tomorrow with Freon 12 replacement. He says that’s what will fix the problem.

I have switched a couple wires at the relay thinking they were wrong and it had no change other than the light not coming on inside unless the cold control was switched on. So that wasn’t right. I now have switched wires at the cold control and I have no change it still runs constantly and gets...

I’m glad it worked too I didn’t want to attempt removing the liner. The only thing is even with the new relay and thermostat it’s not cycling yet. Keeping my fingers crossed because I don’t know what to do next.?

I’m really just playing it by ear and learning as I go. I may not have needed a thermostat and I found the adjustment after I took the old one out. So I may have been able to adjust it instead. Just learning and trying to figure things out on my own as I always do. I thank you for the coat...

How do slide the inside cabinet out to route the thermostat through? The string broke when installing the new thermostat. Now I’m forced to do it this way. Any advice is appreciated.

It’s clipped to the cold plate. I’m thinkjng the relay is fused I was lucky to find a new old stock relay and should arrive in a couple days so I am crossing my fingers.

Update... I don’t think it’s the thermostat. I purchased a temporary thermostat and wired it in. I’m getting the same results with the temporary thermostat. So is it the relay stuck with the contacts closed?

I don’t believe the compressor is getting tired it’s getting below freezing in the refrigerator compartment. Here’s where the thermostat tube comes down and clips the the evaporator. I removed the plastic air deflector to expose the clip. I’m wondering how to get the tube out through the top...

Do you guys have advice for removing the Old thermostat? I was lucky to find and own one on eBay this morning, I see the metal tube goes up and over the inside cabinet just not sure how it comes out.

The evaporator fan continues to run in the off position as well. I was afraid of that, I was hoping it was serviceable in some way. I’ll try to see if can clean the contacts in the relay and begin my search for a replacement thermostat. I do want to use it so I appreciate you guys advice and help.

Hey all; Just bought my first vintage refrigerator 1956 Fridgidaire Imperial Cold Pantry. I am having a thermostat problem, it will not cycle the compressor it just continuously runs. So I’m hoping I can adjust the thermostat or that there is a remedy to getting it to begin to cycle again. Also...
