Description

This safety thermostat is a temperature-limiting switch that helps protect the refrigeration system by cutting power if operating temperatures exceed safe limits. Replace a failed unit to restore the appliance's built-in over-temperature protection. What it does:

• Monitors internal system temperatures and opens the circuit when temperatures rise above a safe threshold
• Stops the compressor or heating element to prevent overheating-related damage
• Helps reduce risk of component failure caused by excessive operating temperatures
• Common symptom: appliance runs but cooling is inconsistent or compressor cycles abnormally
• Suitable as the OEM safety thermostat replacement for compatible Frigidaire units

What's included: One safety thermostat (temperature limiter) Install notes:

• Always disconnect power before servicing the appliance
• Locate thermostat per the appliance wiring diagram; may be mounted on compressor, evaporator housing, or control assembly
• Handle terminals and wiring carefully; ensure secure, correct reconnections
