The Temperature Control Thermostat is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It functions as the primary sensor and control for regulating the refrigerator and freezer temperatures, ensuring that the appliance maintains optimal cooling conditions. By monitoring the internal temperatures and triggering the cooling system when necessary, this thermostat helps preserve food freshness and consistency.

Symptoms of a bad Temperature Control Thermostat include:

  • The refrigerator or freezer being too cold or too warm
  • Frequent or continuous running of the refrigerator
  • Unusual fluctuations in internal temperatures

Causes of a bad thermostat can include electrical issues such as faulty wiring or sensor malfunctions, wear and tear from normal use, or improper settings that prevent the thermostat from accurately gauging and controlling temperature.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Questions & Answers

For Ge Temperature Control Thermostat (Part Number: OEM17420040)

1 Answer

Hello Steve. If you turn the unit down, and it never shuts off until you turn it to off, you will need to replace the cold control in the unit. It sounds like it is not reading temperature properly.

The freezer stops freezing intermittently (has been happening randomly about once a month for the last 3-4 months). To get it going again once it stopped freezing takes slightly moving (or even just touching/shaking a bit) the temperature regulator knob. After that it works fine for 3-4 weeks until that happnes again. I suspect either a faulty temperature control board; or maybe a freezer auto-defroster control; or maybe the thermostat, but am not sure which of the parts is the most likely to be bad. Will greatly appreciate a piece of advice.

Mr. Bigalsworth, If the compressor is running and the evaporator coil is not getting cold, then the unit will have a sealed system issue. It my be a leak, a restriction or faulty compressor. The sealed system parts for this unit is not available.
