we have had the thermostat / cold control box go south. the points inside
are fried.
but if they can find us a part it seems mighty pricey. Is this a way to
sell you a new fridge?

It's amazing what you can do. If...
you put your mind to it.

Nope, just passing on the very high cost of spares to you.

That's the way it is with about anything.
I would search for a generic replacement that may exist. If you are
handy, you may have to change a few wires following a diagram to use
some universal box.

Do you have a part number for this thing? I just ran a froogle for
frigidaire cold control thermostat and found several results, all less than
$100 shipped. A little pricey, but much less than the cost of a new fridge.
Of course, if you have some kind of service guy looking at your fridge, he's
likely to tell you that it costs about twice what he can get it for. -Dvae

I dunno, have you looked elsewhere for a replacement? I've had good
luck buying from Midwest Appliance Parts
(http://www.midwestapplianceparts.com ) and I'm sure there are others.
You'll probably need to figure out the part number to look it up,
though. Once you've got the number, try googling on it and you may
come up with some other dealers too.
