What proof do you have that the base oils arn't as good VRP vs. PUP vs. ESP? Do they publish the specific base oil formulations for thses oils or is this an assumption on your part? Also what proof is there that more so called exotic base oils lend to longer real world engine longevity? There...

I find it all kind of humorous now. I recognize the nature of this forum is to obsess about engine oils and obsess we do. But then I continually remind myself of the million mile Chevy Silverado running nothing but quick lube bulk Pennzoil 10W-30. Unless it's a case of a major design flaw...

Recently at a Goodwill, I found a similar timeframe HP Pavilion running an AMD processor. Paid like eight bucks for it just for fun. With some spare parts I had laying around, I got it up and running; loading it up with Linux Mint. It's not terrible. I can surf the web, check e-mail, and watch...

Posting up the final day of running the OEM tires that came on my 2016 Toyota Sienna. Mileage: 26,793 Tire date code: 0516 Walmart still sells these tires. They are rated at 65,000-miles. -> LINK I've heard it said these vans are hard on tires...

I haven't had a chance to work on it. I'd like to try removing the upper plastic panel I posted above. I'd bet the thermostat and damper is back there. But again. No screws. So I guess I just pull on it until it pops off? And hope I don't break anything.

I suspect the temp probe may be behind this panel as well as the damper. But there are no screws. I "guess" it may snap in place but don't want to break my free poor-cooling fridge...

This may be the temp sensor in question. Number #93 = Electrolux P/N #5304525383. Again, where is it?

Okay, I've dug up some info on the temp sensor but still not sure how to locate the temp sensor. It would appear it is the gray wire sensor on the schematic. Also found the exploded view of the FRSG1915AV posted below. The temp sensor is Number. #93 But where to look for it??

Posted below, the Service Data Sheet I found tucked in the back refrigerator. It's interesting to note that the discontinued model FRSG1915AV shares the same wiring schematic with my unit, model FRSG2115AV. And this is interesting because the service tech told me that my model was so new that...

Thanks. The temp sensor is one of the things I've wondered about. Interesting you refer to the service tech. The service tech that came to my house didn't check anything. Didn't take anything apart. Didn't even verify the temperature with his own temp messuring device. He simply guessed that I...

It's just the pits. Things are made harder in our situation because we need a counter-depth refrigerator. And then this go around I wanted one with no ice maker because our last Frigidaire lasted 10-years. It was part of the ice maker that did it in.

That's interesting. Do you recall the reasons the new units were condemned? Also, did they let you keep the units or did they take them back?
