Estate Temperature Control, Cold Control

The Cold Control is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators, acting as a thermostat that regulates the temperature inside the fridge and freezer compartments. It's a critical component that ensures your refrigerator maintains the desired temperature to keep your food fresh and safe. 

Causes of a bad Cold Control may include electrical malfunctions within the control unit, which can prevent accurate temperature sensing. Wear and tear from continuous use may lead to a degradation of the control's responsiveness. 

Symptoms of a bad Cold Control include:

• The refrigerator or freezer is too warm or too cold
• Frequent or continuous running of the refrigerator's compressor
• Inability to start the cooling system

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It regulates the temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments by controlling the cooling cycles, ensuring food and beverages are kept at the desired temperature.

Over time, thermostats can fail due to electrical malfunctions, wear and tear, or exposure to fluctuating temperatures. A faulty thermostat can disrupt the cooling process, leading to inconsistent temperatures.

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• Refrigerator or freezer too warm or too cold
• Inconsistent temperature maintenance
• Refrigerator running continuously or not at all
• Spoiled food due to improper cooling

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Refrigerator Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part monitors and maintains the temperature inside the appliance.

Causes typically relate to normal component degradation over extended use.

Symptoms of a faulty thermostat can include:

• ineffective or fluctuating interior conditions
• higher than normal energy usage
• intermittent compressor cycling
• potentially complete cooling loss in extreme cases

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.

This mechanical thermostat monitors temperature and opens or closes the circuit at a fixed set point to control heat and prevent overheating. Replacing a failed thermostat restores safe operation and consistent performance. What it does:

• Senses surface or component temperature and switches the circuit at a calibrated threshold
• Helps protect heaters, motors, and controls from thermal damage due to over-temperature
• Common symptoms of failure: no heat, shuts off mid-cycle, won't start until cooled, or intermittent operation
• Restores proper temperature control after a thermostat sticks open/closed or drifts out of spec

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power at the breaker (and shut off gas, if applicable) before servicing
• Note wire positions and transfer leads one-for-one to the new thermostat
• Mount flush against the sensing surface with original screws/clips; reinstall any insulation or thermal interface material as found
• Correct the root cause (blocked vents, failed fan, restricted airflow, or buildup) before returning the appliance to service

Restore consistent cooling with this temperature control thermostat. It senses internal temperature and cycles the cooling system on and off to maintain the setting you select, helping prevent warm spots and over-cooling.

• Regulates compartment temperature by opening/closing electrical contacts to start and stop cooling
• User-adjustable via the control knob/dial; helps maintain a steady set point
• Common symptoms include: unit too warm or too cold, won't cycle off or won't start cooling, or erratic temperature swings
• Tapping the control area to make the unit start/stop can indicate a worn control

• Disconnect power before servicing; use proper PPE
• Photograph and label wire positions before removal; transfer the knob/dial and any brackets from the original control
• Install the new control in the same orientation; set to a mid setting for initial testing
• Restore power and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize; adjust as needed

This thermostat is a temperature-sensitive switch that helps your appliance regulate its cooling cycles for consistent performance. Replacing a failing thermostat restores proper cycling and helps prevent warm spots, overcooling, or frost buildup. What it does:

• Senses temperature and opens/closes an electrical circuit at a preset threshold
• Helps control components such as the compressor, fan, or defrost heater
• Common symptoms of a bad thermostat include inconsistent temperatures, unit running constantly or not cycling, heavy frost on the evaporator, or no automatic defrost
• May show signs of damage such as brittle leads or a deformed housing

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off water supply if accessing near icemaker areas
• Note wire positions and transfer any clips/brackets from the original part
• Mount firmly in the original location so the thermostat senses temperature correctly; avoid pinching or stretching wires
• Restore power and verify proper cycling/defrost operation
