Hello, I'm the second owner of a GE type NF-6-GC that I believe was made sometime between 1946-1950. It's been in use with a generic replacement cold control that's never worked very well - the fridge always ran too cold. Recently I defrosted and removed the cold control to inspect/clean/maybe replace it. The knob freewheeled on the shaft because the control is corroded inside and it seized up. I fiddled with it and got some dial motion back but decided it was time for a replacement. And the internet has proven a wonderful resource for finding a thousand different thermal controls that don't fit and a bunch of dicey "universal" parts that probably work no better in this application than the one I'm replacing. Searching by model number has turned up nothing useful. Maybe I've been looking for parts in all the wrong places, but I found a thread (on a homebrewing site, I think) where the guy bypassed the old control that's located behind the door of the freezer compartment with an Inkbird ITC-1000F digital temperature controller. I got one of those and plan to use it instead of the unsealed, usually encased-in-ice original with its three feet of delicate, dangling capilary tubing.
My question is, does anybody on this forum have a wiring diagram for this model GE? There's some loose terminals about to fall off that need replacement, there's crumbling insulation on some wiring, the light (or doorswitch) doesn't work, and I'd like to know more so I can reduce the risk of boogering up the electricals. It's used in the basement as an overflow fridge and for parties, holding anything from a defrosting turkey to cheese and wine to groceries and extra drinks, and I plan to keep it running longer than I do, so I'll go to considerable work if need be, because aside from a goofy cold control it's always functioned extremely well.
