Cold control that regulates cooling cycles to maintain set temperatures in the fresh-food section. Replacing a failed control restores more consistent temperature control and helps prevent food spoilage. What it does:

• Controls compressor/cooling cycles based on the selected temperature setting to maintain cabinet temperature.
• Common symptoms: refrigerator running constantly, not cooling, or temperature cycling irregularly.
• Interfaces with the fridge control housing and wiring to open/close the cooling circuit as needed.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Access the control housing/panel to remove the old control; note wire locations or take a photo for correct reinstallation.
• Handle any attached sensor or capillary tube gently to avoid kinks or damage.
• After installation, restore power and the refrigerator reaches and holds the desired temperature.
