Description

The Thermostat is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in regulating the temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring that food is kept at the appropriate temperature for optimal freshness. The thermostat monitors the internal temperature and signals the compressor when to turn on or off to maintain the desired cooling levels.

Causes of a bad thermostat can include electrical issues, wear and tear over time, or exposure to moisture which can lead to malfunction. A malfunctioning thermostat can compromise the refrigerator's ability to maintain consistent temperatures.

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• The refrigerator or freezer being too warm or too cold
• Frequent cycling on and off of the compressor
• Frost buildup in the freezer
• Unusual noises from the refrigerator

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