Description

This temperature control thermostat regulates refrigerator temperature by cycling the compressor and evaporator fan to keep food cold. It replaces a failed control to restore consistent cooling. What it does:

• Senses internal cabinet temperature via a capillary bulb and rod, opening/closing the electrical circuit to the compressor
• Stops excessive compressor run time when the set temperature is reached
• Helps correct symptoms such as inconsistent temperatures, unit running continuously, or failure to cool
• Works as the user-adjustable control when the front dial or lever is turned

What's included:

• One thermostat assembly with capillary tube and mounting bracket

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before replacing; follow all safety precautions
• Handle the capillary tube and bulb gently—do not kink, stretch, or crimp the sensor
• Verify proper routing and secure mounting to ensure accurate temperature sensing
