Maytag Temperature Control, Cold Control

The Cold Control is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators, acting as a thermostat that regulates the temperature inside the fridge and freezer compartments. It's a critical component that ensures your refrigerator maintains the desired temperature to keep your food fresh and safe. 

Causes of a bad Cold Control may include electrical malfunctions within the control unit, which can prevent accurate temperature sensing. Wear and tear from continuous use may lead to a degradation of the control's responsiveness. 

Symptoms of a bad Cold Control include:

• The refrigerator or freezer is too warm or too cold
• Frequent or continuous running of the refrigerator's compressor
• Inability to start the cooling system

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component is crucial for regulating the internal temperature of the refrigerator, ensuring that food and beverages are stored at the correct temperature for optimal freshness and safety. The thermostat monitors the temperature inside the refrigerator and signals the cooling system to turn on or off to maintain the desired temperature.

You should replace the thermostat if it becomes faulty or unresponsive. Causes of a bad thermostat can include regular wear and tear from frequent use, electrical issues, or exposure to extreme temperatures. Over time, these factors can lead to the thermostat failing to accurately monitor or control the refrigerator's temperature.

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• The refrigerator not maintaining the correct temperature
• Food items freezing or spoiling faster than usual
• The refrigerator running constantly or not running at all
• Inconsistent temperature readings or fluctuations inside the refrigerator
