The Thermostat Tube Shield is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It functions as a barrier that covers and insulates the temperature control thermostat capillary tube. This shield ensures accurate temperature sensing and regulation by protecting the capillary tube from physical damage and external temperature influences.

Over time, the thermostat tube shield can become worn out or damaged due to factors like regular wear and tear, accidental impact, or environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature fluctuations. 

Symptoms of a bad thermostat tube shield include:

• Inconsistent or inaccurate refrigerator temperatures
• The refrigerator running continuously or cycling on and off frequently
• Visible damage or wear to the shield
• Difficulty in maintaining the desired temperature settings

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This thermostat is a temperature-sensitive switch that controls power to cooling components as temperatures change. Replacing a worn thermostat restores consistent cycling and more accurate temperature regulation, helping the appliance maintain stable performance. What it does:

• Senses temperature and opens/closes electrical contacts at set points
• Regulates operation of key cooling components to maintain target temperature
• Helps prevent overcooling, overheating, and erratic cycling
• Failure signs include: no cooling, overcooling, temperature swings, unit runs continuously, or short-cycling

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Access the thermostat location; label/photograph wire positions and transfer one at a time
• Install in the same position and orientation as the original to ensure proper thermal response
• Restore power and confirm proper cycling and temperature control
