• Senses internal cabinet temperature and opens/closes the circuit to control cooling cycles
• Stops cooling when desired temperature is reached and restarts it when the temperature rises
• Can cause the appliance to run constantly, not cool, or have temperature swings when faulty
• Works with the control system to maintain stable storage temperatures

• Disconnect power before testing or replacing the thermostat to avoid shock or damage
• Handle sensing element/capillary carefully to avoid kinks or damage
• Reinstall in the same position and orientation as the original for proper sensing
