General Electric Refrigerator Temperature Control, Cold Control

The Electromechanical Icemaker Kit is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It includes the ice maker assembly components responsible for harvesting, ejecting, and monitoring the ice-making process.

Symptoms of a faulty electromechanical kit include: 

• Ice not being produced or dispensing properly
• The ice maker failing to turn on or stop automatically
• Strange noises emanating from the ice maker

Causes can be worn parts like the ejector assembly or drive motor, as well as electrical malfunctions. Continued use puts wear on components that regulate ice production.

This OEM GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models. Replace yours today for reliable ice on demand.

The Temperature Control Thermostat is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It functions as the primary sensor and control for regulating the refrigerator and freezer temperatures, ensuring that the appliance maintains optimal cooling conditions. By monitoring the internal temperatures and triggering the cooling system when necessary, this thermostat helps preserve food freshness and consistency.

Symptoms of a bad Temperature Control Thermostat include:

• The refrigerator or freezer being too cold or too warm
• Frequent or continuous running of the refrigerator
• Unusual fluctuations in internal temperatures

Causes of a bad thermostat can include electrical issues such as faulty wiring or sensor malfunctions, wear and tear from normal use, or improper settings that prevent the thermostat from accurately gauging and controlling temperature.

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

This refrigerator temperature control thermostat regulates cooling by sensing the compartment temperature and switching the compressor on and off. Replacing a worn control restores consistent temperatures and proper cooling cycles. What it does

• Senses fresh food compartment temperature and responds to your dial setting
• Opens/closes electrical contacts to start and stop the cooling system
• Maintains target temperature within the control's range
• Common symptoms: refrigerator too warm or too cold, runs constantly, won't start cooling, temperature doesn't change with the knob

• Includes 1 temperature control thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear appropriate gloves
• Access the control in the fresh food control housing; remove the cover and knob as needed
• Note wire positions; transfer wires and any bracket exactly as found
• Carefully route the sensing tube in the original path without kinking; set to a mid setting and allow 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 thermostat assembly senses refrigerator temperature and signals the compressor and fans to maintain set cooling. Replacing a failed thermostat restores temperature regulation for more consistent cooling. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and switches the compressor or evaporator fan on and off to regulate cooling.
• Helps maintain the user-set temperature range for food safety and efficiency.
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as the refrigerator running constantly, not cooling, or cycling frequently.
• Stop proper cooling when internal contacts wear or the sensor fails.

• Always unplug the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Handle the sensor/capillary carefully; avoid kinks or damage when routing.
• Match and secure all wiring connections and mounting points exactly as removed.

This temperature control thermostat regulates your refrigerator's cooling by sensing cabinet temperature and cycling the compressor. Replacing a failed control restores consistent temperatures and normal on/off operation.

• Monitors cabinet temperature via a capillary sensing bulb
• Opens/closes electrical contacts to start and stop the cooling system
• Common symptoms of failure: too warm or too cold, runs constantly or won't run, no response to temperature dial, intermittent cooling
• Restores predictable cycling and temperature regulation

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Photograph/label wire positions; transfer any brackets/insulators from the original control
• Route the capillary tube exactly as original; avoid kinks and ensure the sensing bulb is secured in its clip/well
• After installation, set to a mid setting and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

This refrigerator thermostat regulates internal temperature by cycling the cooling system so food stays at the right temperature. Replaces a failed control to restore stable cooling and normal compressor cycling. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and opens/closes the circuit to the compressor and fans
• Helps maintain set temperature by turning cooling on and off as needed
• Commonly linked to symptoms like inconsistent temperatures, constant running compressor, or no cooling
• Compatible with systems that use a capillary-style temperature control

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service
• Handle the sensor capillary and bulb gently to avoid kinking or damage
• Verify wiring locations and secure connections before restoring power
