Here is a drawing from the nasa website of the command module showing one of eight!!! electrical system radiator panels and one of two large environmental control system (ECS)radiator panels .

Here is part of an essay written by 13 commander Jim Lovell

An engineering test on the vehicle showed
that its mechanisms could survive seven or eight hours in space without water cooling, until the guidance system rebelled at this enforced toasting.

Later in the same essay:

TIRED, HUNGRY, WET, COLD, DEHYDRATED
The trip was marked by discomfort beyond the lack of food and water. Sleep was almost
impossible because of the cold. When we turned off the electrical systems, we lost our source of heat, and the Sun streaming in the windows didn't much help. We were as cold as frogs in a frozen pool, especially Jack Swigert, who got his feet wet and didn't have lunar overshoes. It wasn't simply that the temperature dropped to 38 F: the sight of perspiring walls and wet
windows made it seem even colder. We considered putting on our spacesuits, but they would have been bulky and too sweaty. Our teflon-coated inflight coveralls were cold to the touch, and how we longed for some good old thermal underwear.

Note the liquid cooling and ventalation garment. Is this a red handed lie here?
