Gibson Temperature Control, Cold Control

The Temperature Control Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a crucial component that regulates the temperature within the refrigerator and freezer compartments, ensuring optimal cooling and food preservation.

Symptoms of a need to replace the temperature control thermostat:

• Inability to maintain consistent temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer
• Excessive cooling or warming, leading to food spoilage
• Complete failure of the refrigerator to cool or maintain any cooling at all

Causes of a faulty temperature control thermostat can include general wear and tear over time, electrical malfunctions or wiring issues, exposure to moisture or condensation, or physical damage from impact or mishandling.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore refrigerator models.

The Cold Control is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It regulates the temperature inside the fridge and freezer compartments by controlling the compressor, evaporator fan, and cooling vents. Proper cooling depends on the cold control operating reliably.

Symptoms of a bad cold control include:

• Fluctuating temperatures that don't stay consistent
• The refrigerator or freezer running excessively hot or cold
• The compressor not turning on at all

Causes of failure can be worn over many years of use or damage to electronic components. Without an accurately functioning control, cooling performance diminishes significantly.

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The Cold Control is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component regulates the temperature inside the refrigerator by controlling the operation of the compressor and the flow of refrigerant. It ensures that the interior remains at the desired temperature to keep food fresh. This temperature control thermostat features a 16" capillary tube. 

Over time, the cold control can become faulty due to regular wear and tear, electrical issues, or exposure to moisture. A malfunctioning cold control can result in temperature fluctuations and ineffective cooling.

Symptoms of a bad cold control include:

• The refrigerator not maintaining the correct temperature
• The compressor running continuously or not at all
• Frost buildup in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator being too warm or too cold

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some Kenmore models.

This temperature control thermostat regulates cabinet temperature by cycling the cooling system on and off. It helps your appliance hold the setting you select so food stays cold without unnecessary overcooling.

• Senses internal temperature and opens/closes electrical contacts to start or stop the compressor
• Maintains the setpoint chosen with the control knob
• Symptoms of a failing control include: too warm or too cold temperatures
• Runs constantly or won't run unless tapped/adjusted
• Temperature knob has little or no effect on cooling

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Note wire locations and take photos before removal
• Route the sensing capillary/bulb exactly as original; do not kink or sharply bend it
• Secure the sensing bulb in its clips and ensure good contact; set to mid-range and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

This temperature control thermostat regulates the cabinet temperature by cycling the cooling system on and off as needed. Replacing a faulty control restores consistent cooling performance and makes the setting dial respond correctly.

• Senses cabinet temperature via the capillary bulb and opens/closes contacts to start or stop the compressor
• Corrects issues such as no cooling/won't run (open control) or running constantly/won't shut off (stuck closed)
• Addresses erratic temperatures or a dial that has little or no effect on temperature
• Helps maintain stable, food-safe temperatures once adjusted

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; do not work on live circuits
• Remove the control housing/escutcheon, pull off the knob, note wire positions, and transfer any brackets as needed
• Route the new capillary in the original path; avoid kinks/sharp bends and secure the sensing bulb in the original clips
• Reassemble, restore power, and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize; adjust the setting as needed

This genuine OEM part is a temperature control thermostat for refrigerators. The temperature control thermostat is the part that regulates and adjusts the temperature settings of the refrigerator. If the refrigerator is no longer maintaining the desired temperature settings, not cooling, or otherwise not operating properly, it will need to be replaced. To replace this part, make sure the refrigerator is unplugged. After unplugging, proceed to open the refrigerator door and remove all the interior shelving. Once removed, proceed to unmount the screws that hold the interior panels in place. Once loosened, remove the panels to access the temperature control thermostat. After locating the part, unthread the mounting screws that secure the thermostat to its housing. After unthreading, pull the old thermostat out and remove the wire harness that it is attached to. Replace it with the new thermostat and proceed to reinstall the interior panels of the refrigerator. This replacement part is sold individually and is compatible with Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Westinghouse brand refrigerators.
