The ongoing saga of my FPI-19-64 Frigidaire. I believe I have solved the icing evaporator issue.. it has been plugged in for about three days with nothing more than light frost. If the defroster wasn't working, it would be an impassable block of ice by this point. I will make a separate post on how I solved that issue, which I think will be a lifesaver to those of us with 60s self-defrosting models. However I must first conquer the issue of freezing temps in the refrigerator compartment.
For all of the three days I have had three different thermometers in the same place, all giving different readings! Today I got the bright idea of just putting a shallow tray of water into the fridge. After about 8 hours it had a light crust of ice, so I am inclined to believe the the 10° temperature on the Degree Antiperspirant thermometer (left behind by the previous homeowner in my garage)!
I have the cold control set at just before the letter C, which is the first position where the compressor kicks on after being shut off. I assume this to be the lowest temp. How intuitive to offer settings of C, B, A - 3, 2, 1, because of course, that makes it very obvious which one is the warmest / coldest. So I ask ye old refrigeration experts, is letter C the warmest setting? And if so, any ideas what to do next? It does cycle on and off; does not run constantly. For the record, it has brand new gaskets all around which I spent hours fitting and machining parts for a perfect seal.
