Garage Refrigerator Kit for Frigidaire Refrigerators

I get many garage refrigerator repair calls in the winter months when temperatures dip to 0 degrees and below.  Most cases involve lower-end Frigidaire or Whirlpool Top-Mount refrigerators, or in other words, refrigerators with the freezer mounted on the top.

In most cases, these refrigerators have the thermostat installed inside the refrigerators.  When the outside temperature gets too cold, the cold air permeates into the refrigerator and the thermostat will not turn on the compressor.  Now there is a fix for this.

Frigidaire has come out with a Frigidaire Refrigerator Garage Kit, which when properly installed, heats the thermostat to compensate for the cold air and prevents the freezer defrosting.  There is also a do-it-yourself Procedure for this if you follow the link in the YouTube description field.
