That would make sense, if there were one temperature adjustment for both the fridge and the freezer.
I made peach schnapps in a locker bay in high school.We tried to make prison wine once.
Freddie that worked in the kitchen smuggled back some random mixed fruit. Me and another guy fashioned a bladder of sorts out of trash bags that could expand and grow up inside a wall.
It worked great for a little while, then after the fermentation really got going, it burst.
In the end, those of us smart enough to stfu (me and Freddie) ended up getting off the hook.
Those dumb enough to talk to government agents or believe them when they said "rat somebody else out and w'ell go easy on you" all ended up with extra charges.
Moral of the story:
1. Agents of the government are more crooked than most crooks.
2. Most people go to jail not for what they did but because they're stupid enough to talk about it and/or believe what the even more crooked government agents tell them.
What's the easiest way to figure this out? Try to answer without being a total dick.If this thing _is_ the relay, then it's gotta be up to the amperage rating of the appliance.
If this thing _triggers_ a relay, then just pick whatever the fuck's on offer.
120V, 12000V, doesn't matter.
It's a thermocouple switch - the one you first showed us looked just fine. *A relay would have minimum of 4 lugs - 2 for low voltage, 2 for the high the low voltage is switching on/off. Again, if you old one has a black wire running to it, connect to same lug on new switch that is black, your other wire goes where the two wires are shared on the other lug(of new switch).What's the easiest way to figure this out?

Check the wiring diagram for your freezer.What's the easiest way to figure this out? Try to answer without being a total dick.
But couldn't it either be 120v right there, or the wires run down to a relay? I guess I can just put a MM on it to see the voltage. That should answer it, correct?It's a thermocouple switch - the one you first showed us looked just fine. *A relay would have minimum of 4 lugs - 2 for low voltage, 2 for the high the low voltage is switching on/off.

You don't need to know. You only have 120 coming into the freezer, correct? The thermcouple switch you showed is rated for 120. NEXT!!But couldn't it either be 120v right there, or the wires run down to a relay? I guess I can just put a MM on it to see the voltage. That should answer it, correct?
Where did you see 120v? It's not on the Amazon page.You don't need to know. You only have 120 coming into the freezer, correct? The thermcouple switch you showed is rated for 120. NEXT!!
Add: if the wires are running down to a relay then it is low voltage running through that switch. If it is high voltage then there is no need for a relay. The switch you showed is rated high enough for either possibility.
Yep!But couldn't it either be 120v right there, or the wires run down to a relay? I guess I can just put a MM on it to see the voltage. That should answer it, correct?
Looking at the cross references, appears the actual manufacturer's part number is 5304513033(those are sold under the 7 or 8 brands Frigidaire sells, under different names), clearly marked 250/125v. Have you removed the old one yet?Where did you see 120v? It's not on the Amazon page.
It takes a village to fix a fridge.The old one is out. I first purchased the correct freezer one, which arrived today. Even if it doesn't work, I can always keep it to put it back in some day. I think this new one is going to allow me to get above freezing. Yay!
And FWIW, both the old and the new tstat have a ground terminal. I forgot to check VAC, but I assume that almost certainly means that it runs 120V.
We are a village full of idiots though.It takes a village to fix a fridge.
No idiot stands alone.We are a village full of idiots though.
If you lash enough of us together, we make a pretty good raft, though.No idiot stands alone.
Not here!No idiot stands alone.
Maybe you should send them to the guy who was whining about Sears' parts diagram being wrong.Thank God I broke the thermostat. The correct freezer replacement has the water sitting at 39F this morning! Woohoo!
Now I can move on to removing some of the door shelves.
