This interior light shield protects and diffuses the refrigerator light, helping produce even illumination while covering the bulb. It restores a finished look and prevents direct contact with the lamp for safer operation. What it does:

• Covers the interior light to diffuse and soften illumination for better visibility
• Protects the bulb from accidental impact and food contact
• Helps prevent direct glare from the lamp
• Replaces cracked, yellowed, missing, or loose light covers that reduce light output

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance to avoid shock
• Handle the plastic shield carefully to avoid cracking during removal/installation
• Usually snaps or screws into place; align tabs with housing and press gently

This mechanical refrigerator thermostat regulates interior temperature, letting the compressor cycle on and off to maintain your set cooling level. It's a direct replacement for worn or unresponsive temperature controls to restore consistent cooling. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and signals the compressor to run or stop to maintain setpoint
• Replaces a thermostat that won't hold temperature, causes continuous running, or prevents cooling
• Works with manual temperature-control knobs (mechanical sensing and switching)
• Typical failure symptoms: refrigerator too warm, too cold, or compressor that runs constantly or not at all

• Disconnect power before attempting any service to avoid shock or damage
• Access may require removing control panels or shelves; keep track of mounting screws and orientation
• Confirm wiring and terminal placement match the old thermostat before final connection
