I have a Frigidaire 4.4 cu/ft fridge that only runs very cold all the time. It’s 4 years old. The temp sits around 18-22f. I’ve tried in vain to locate a replacement thermostat or control. The parts are not available. Is there a generic part that might work, or a workaround someone can advise me of?
Thanks!!!
Any numbers of the old part as well as pictures posted on the forum might help.

If the cold control will not turn off when you turn it up all the way, it’s shorted. You can install a universal, ambient controller AP3512625
The sensing wire for this gets routed in the general control panel area and not in the fridg vent area.
Part #WSF33T-921-016
I’ve attached a couple of pics.
richappy: Thanks for replying. Would the short occur within the switch, or does it have something to do with the sensor which is mounted in the freezer section? I ask because I rebuild potentiometers and the like in old audio equipment and would have a go at it if I had some idea of it’s internal workings.

The contacts can arc weld shut, or the mechanism inside can fail.If turning it off and on a few times fails to fix it it’s best to get a new one.
I’d love to get a new one but the manufacturer doesn’t sell parts for compact units. They simply replace the entire fridge if it’s within the warranty period.
Are these the only numbers you found?
