Freezer Temperature Control, Cold Control

The Temperature Control Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a crucial component that regulates the temperature within the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring optimal cooling and food preservation.

Symptoms of a need to replace the temperature control thermostat:

• Inability to maintain consistent temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer
• Excessive cooling or warming, leading to food spoilage
• Complete failure of the refrigerator to cool or maintain any cooling at all

Causes of a faulty temperature control thermostat can include general wear and tear over time, electrical malfunctions or wiring issues, exposure to moisture or condensation, or physical damage from impact or mishandling.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore refrigerator models.

The Thermostat is an OEM part for GE freezer. This part regulates the temperature inside the freezer compartment, ensuring that the stored food stays at the desired temperature. The thermostat monitors the internal temperature and signals the cooling system to turn on or off to maintain optimal conditions.

Causes of a bad thermostat can include electrical failures, wear and tear from regular use, or exposure to moisture. 

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• The freezer not cooling properly
• Temperature fluctuations within the compartments
• The cooling system running continuously or not running at all
• Frost buildup or excessive condensation inside the refrigerator

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This temperature control thermostat senses cabinet temperature and cycles the cooling system to match your set point. Replace it to restore consistent, adjustable cooling when the original control is worn or unresponsive.

• Senses cabinet temperature and opens/closes internal contacts to regulate cooling
• Cycles the compressor to maintain the selected coldness
• Common symptoms of failure: too warm or too cold, runs continuously or won't start
• Temperature knob has little/no effect or causes erratic temperature swings

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Photograph/label wiring; transfer leads one at a time to matching terminals
• Reinstall and secure the sensor/control in its original location; avoid sharp bends or damage
• Set to mid-range and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize after replacement

This temperature control thermostat regulates cabinet temperature by cycling the cooling system on and off. It helps your appliance hold the setting you select so food stays cold without unnecessary overcooling.

• Senses internal temperature and opens/closes electrical contacts to start or stop the compressor
• Maintains the setpoint chosen with the control knob
• Symptoms of a failing control include: too warm or too cold temperatures
• Runs constantly or won't run unless tapped/adjusted
• Temperature knob has little or no effect on cooling

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Note wire locations and take photos before removal
• Route the sensing capillary/bulb exactly as original; do not kink or sharply bend it
• Secure the sensing bulb in its clips and ensure good contact; set to mid-range and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

This defrost thermostat senses evaporator temperature and shuts off the defrost heater once the coil warms, preventing overheating. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper defrosting to stop ice buildup and stabilize refrigerator temperatures.

• Controls the defrost heater based on evaporator coil temperature
• Closes when cold to allow defrost; opens as the coil warms to end the cycle
• Protects against overheating during defrost
• Failure may cause frost/ice on the back wall or evaporator, poor cooling, or a heater that never energizes

• Disconnect power before service; evaporator fins and sheet metal are sharp
• Access the evaporator by removing the freezer rear panel; note wire routing and mounting
• Position the new thermostat in the same location for tight contact with the tubing; reconnect wires exactly as found
• Reassemble and monitor a defrost cycle to confirm heater operation

This mechanical temperature control thermostat regulates your unit's cooling by cycling the compressor on and off to maintain the set temperature. Replace a failed cold control when temperatures drift, cycling is erratic, or the knob no longer responds.

• Monitors cabinet temperature via a sensing bulb and opens/closes electrical contacts to control cooling
• Helps restore consistent temperatures and normal run times
• Typical failure symptoms: too warm or too cold, runs constantly or won't start, no change when adjusting the control
• May cause intermittent cooling or short cycling as it wears

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the control housing; note/photograph wire locations and transfer them one at a time
• Route the sensing capillary exactly as original; do not kink or sharply bend the tube; secure the bulb in its original location
• Set the control to a mid setting and allow temperatures to stabilize before fine-tuning

This temperature control thermostat regulates the cabinet temperature by cycling the cooling system on and off as needed. Replacing a faulty control restores consistent cooling performance and makes the setting dial respond correctly.

• Senses cabinet temperature via the capillary bulb and opens/closes contacts to start or stop the compressor
• Corrects issues such as no cooling/won't run (open control) or running constantly/won't shut off (stuck closed)
• Addresses erratic temperatures or a dial that has little or no effect on temperature
• Helps maintain stable, food-safe temperatures once adjusted

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; do not work on live circuits
• Remove the control housing/escutcheon, pull off the knob, note wire positions, and transfer any brackets as needed
• Route the new capillary in the original path; avoid kinks/sharp bends and secure the sensing bulb in the original clips
• Reassemble, restore power, and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize; adjust the setting as needed

This thermostat is a temperature-sensitive switch that controls power to cooling components as temperatures change. Replacing a worn thermostat restores consistent cycling and more accurate temperature regulation, helping the appliance maintain stable performance. What it does:

• Senses temperature and opens/closes electrical contacts at set points
• Regulates operation of key cooling components to maintain target temperature
• Helps prevent overcooling, overheating, and erratic cycling
• Failure signs include: no cooling, overcooling, temperature swings, unit runs continuously, or short-cycling

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Access the thermostat location; label/photograph wire positions and transfer one at a time
• Install in the same position and orientation as the original to ensure proper thermal response
• Restore power and confirm proper cycling and temperature control

A replacement temperature control (thermostat) that regulates the refrigerator/freezer cooling cycle so food stays at the set temperature. Restores reliable on/off cycling when the original control fails. What it does

• Sends the signal to the compressor and fans to maintain the selected interior temperature.
• Replaces a faulty control when the appliance is too warm or too cold, or when temperatures fluctuate.
• Can stop short-cycling or continuous-run issues caused by a defective control.
• Works with the fridge's user temperature selector to restore normal cooling responses.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Handle control and wiring harness carefully; note or label wire locations before removal.
• Mount the control in the original position and reconnect wires to the matching terminals.
