Kenmore Refrigerator 253.79969701 (25379969701, 253 79969701) Parts

This mechanical temperature control thermostat replaces the factory temperature sensing switch to restore proper refrigerator temperature regulation. It helps the appliance maintain set temperatures for safe food storage and normal cooling performance. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and opens/closes the cooling circuit to regulate compressor run time.
• Commonly used when the refrigerator runs constantly or cycles too quickly.
• Works as the user-adjustable temperature control for manual-style refrigerator controls.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Handle the sensing bulb/capillary tube gently; avoid kinks or sharp bends.
• Verify correct placement of the sensing bulb in the evaporator/probe clip per OEM location.
