Thermostat setting on Frigidaier refrigerator/freezer combo
Well, I'm aware, that this isn't quite an "electronics" question, but I'm
hoping to get an answer here anyway. On an older (guessing some late 60s, early/mid 70s model), light green, big US Frigidaire refrigerator with icebox in the top area, I'm wondering what the thermostat settings (in the refrigerator section) mean: there a three positions labelled Off--A-B-C and if you turn further, three more, labelled 1-2-3. So now what are the A-B-C doing and what are the 1-2-3 for? |

So now what are the A-B-C doing and what are the 1-2-3 for? Colder and warmer...degrees thereof. What did you expect? Okay...if you look closer, you might also see a note explaining that lower/higher numbers/letters mean colder/warmer. That's been the case in every fridge I've ever had. Otherwise, you might have to do some research. Likely the answer is google-able. Try it. jak |

Okay...if you look closer, you might also see a note explaining that lower/higher numbers/letters mean colder/warmer. That's been the case in every fridge I've ever had. Sure, the direction of higher numbers mean colder, as is also indicated by an arrow on the side BUT to me it doesn't make any sense to start with A-B-C and then go on with 1-2-3, rather then go from 1-....-6 in the first place. That is illogical. I was more thinking that the 2 groups might have something to do with different emphasis on the freezer, respectively the fridge section temperature settings, but I simply don't know and also wouldn't know, which one would work which way. That's why I asked here. Otherwise, you might have to do some research. Likely the answer is google-able. Try it. I did, but came up empty. |

You could try the experiment. :) There are a number of large appliance Web sites with a place to ask questions. You may have more luck there. Some of these guys consider something as electronically simple as a fridge to be beneath them. Just kidding. :) Links from: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/sambook.htm under "Appliance Sites" (about 2/3rds of the way down the page) --- sam | Sci.Electronics.Repair FAQ: http://www.repairfaq.org/ Repair | Main Table of Contents: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/ +Lasers | Sam's Laser FAQ: http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/lasersam.htm | Mirror Sites: http://www.repairfaq.org/REPAIR/F_mirror.html Important: Anything sent to the email address in the message header above is ignored unless my full name AND either lasers or electronics is included in the subject line.

I am old enuf to go back that far and even further, and I must say I have never seen a refrigerator with anything except total numbers or total letters, never a combo. Bob Hofmann |
