Description

A shield thermostat that monitors refrigerator temperature to help the cooling system run only when needed. Designed as a direct-replacement temperature sensor to restore reliable temperature feedback and stable cooling performance. What it does

• Helps prevent prolonged compressor runtime and temperature swings when working correctly
• Commonly replaced for intermittent cooling, inconsistent temperatures, or when the refrigerator won't reach set temperature
• Works as part of the appliance's temperature control system; not a standalone control board

What's included

• One shield thermostat

Install notes

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Located behind interior panels or near the evaporator; access may require removing shelves, panels, or the evaporator cover
• Handle the thermostat and capillary/sensor element carefully to avoid damage
