Description

This thermostat senses and regulates refrigerator temperature to help keep food cold and prevent overcooling. It replaces a failing temperature control to restore normal compressor cycling and temperature stability. What it does:

• Controls refrigerator/freezer temperature by switching the compressor and fans on and off as needed
• Helps maintain set temperature so food stays properly chilled and frozen
• Commonly replaced when the fridge runs continuously, won't cool, or cycles too frequently
• Works as the user temperature control interface internal component for models using this style of thermostat

What's included:

• One thermostat (single unit)

Install notes:

• Turn power to the appliance off at the breaker or unplug before attempting replacement
• Handle carefully and avoid bending terminals; secure wiring to the correct terminals per OEM wiring layout
• Verify thermostat operation after installation by checking that the compressor and fans respond when temperature is adjusted
