Rally Temperature Control, Cold Control
Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: WP819470
This cold control thermostat regulates your refrigerator's temperature by cycling cooling on and off based on air temperature at the sensing bulb. Replacing a worn control restores accurate settings and consistent cooling performance. What it does:
- Monitors compartment temperature via a capillary sensing bulb
- Opens/closes electrical contacts to start and stop the compressor (and related cooling circuits)
- Helps maintain the temperature you set on the control dial
- Failure symptoms include: unit too warm or too cold, runs continuously, won't start until the knob is moved/tapped, or erratic temperature swings
What's included:
Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
- Note wire positions or take a photo; transfer the dial/shaft and any mounting hardware from the old control if reused
- Route the capillary bulb exactly as original; do not kink, pinch, or cut it; secure with existing clips
- After install, set to a mid setting and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize
Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You
My ice in the freezer was water and the food in my fridge was at room temperature Peter B. • Elburn , IL • August 15, 2016
I determined it was the thermostat, found the model number and Appliance Pros had one they said would work. So, I ordered one and got it in 2 days. Opened the package, read the instructions and 10 minutes later my new food was going to be cool and my water would be ice. All it took was remove housing, unplug old part, plug in new part and replace housing.
