Parts for Kitchenaid KSSS36MAX00: 05 - Freezer Control Panel Parts

This part shields and positions the temperature control's sensing bulb inside the control housing, helping the control respond accurately and keep cabinet temperatures stable. Replace a cracked, deformed, or missing barrier to restore consistent, predictable cooling. What it does:

• Shields the cold-control thermostat/capillary bulb from direct airflow
• Helps the temperature control sense average compartment temperature and cycle correctly
• Supports steady temperatures and normal run times
• A damaged or missing barrier may contribute to temperature swings or frequent control adjustments

• 1 thermostat barrier

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the control housing; remove the dial/cover and any retaining screws or clips
• Note the factory routing of the thermostat capillary; install the barrier without kinking or sharply bending the sensor tube
• Reassemble, set controls to mid-range, and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

The Door Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This switch plays a crucial role in monitoring the status of the refrigerator door. It detects when the door is open and closed and signals the refrigerator to suspend or resume cooling operations accordingly. 

Causes of a bad door switch can include general wear and tear over time, exposure to moisture, or impact damage. Please check for proper connection and that the wires are intact before replacing the switch.

Symptoms of a bad door switch include: 

• The refrigerator fails to resume cooling after closing the door
• The inside light fails to turn on when the door is opened
• Abnormal energy usage due to improper door monitoring

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