Frigidaire Refrigerator help needed!!

[norgeway]

Ron Jones brought me a new play toy this weekend, A 1962 Turquoise Frigidaire Fridge...

 

[norgeway]

Like new inside too!

BUT, needs a new thermostat..

 

[norgeway]

Model Number

Here tis...

 

[norgeway]

This is a

Plain single door fridge, but it really does look like new, inside and out, and it has all its parts, Do any of you Frigidaire guys have a thermostat for it, If you do, just let me know how much it is! I want to get this old girl running!

Can you see the part number on the thermostat? 6599216?  I'll look at what I have...

 

[norgeway]

stamped on the back...

2/19 then opposite that 5901141

 

[philr]

Hans, I looked for both your part number and the one that replaces it and I don't have a cold control like that.

 My books say your model should use 6599216  F3B  Cut out +2,  Cut in +18

 

If that helps...

Could you use a supco 'temporary' cold control? That's what put on my Philco and it works like a champ.

 

[philr]

I found that...

Thanks Guys!

I ordered the one on EBay a few minutes ago.

 

[philr]

Great I hope it will fix it! What happens with it? It runs constantly and gets too cold?

 

[norgeway]

No, It would not turn on at all

I jumped the wires and it runs like a champ...Quiet too.

 

[paulg]

Me too

I also used a Supco in my 1954 Crosley. Still works. Good fix.

It's good to be expressive

Hans, whatever you do, leave some real estate for the turquoise to show through.
