Model Number: FFU20F9FW3
Brand: Frigidaire
Age: More than 10 years

Hi, all. New member and first post.

I have the Frigidaire FFU20F9FW3 upright freezer (21 yrs old) and have identified its recent breakdown due to bad thermostat control. I removed it and made a direct connection between the two leads and the compressor runs fine.

The thermostat (part 216521100) is no longer available from the first 30 or so parts dealers found via Google.

If I can get it to mount in a reasonably acceptable fashion in the freezer will pretty much any freezer thermostat control work as a replacement? Do you know of a universal freezer thermostat control I could use?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
