Description

This cold control kit is the mechanical thermostat that regulates your refrigerator's temperature. It senses cabinet conditions and cycles the cooling system on and off to maintain the user-selected setting and restore stable, consistent cooling performance. What it does:

• Monitors cabinet temperature via a capillary-sensor bulb
• Opens/closes contacts to start and stop the cooling circuit
• Helps maintain steady temperatures based on the dial setting
• Common symptoms of a failing control: refrigerator too warm or too cold, runs constantly, short-cycles, or won't start cooling

What's included:

• One cold control thermostat kit

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Handle the thin capillary tube carefully; do not kink, crease, or cut it
• Route and secure the sensing bulb and wiring exactly as the original for accurate temperature control
• Transfer knob/shaft adapter and mounting pieces if required; set to a mid setting and verify operation
