Genuine Ge part
By: Ge
Part Number: WR50X10032
This thermodisc temperature switch senses refrigerator evaporator temperature and helps control defrost and cooling cycles to prevent overcooling or prolonged defrost runs. It's a compact replacement part for temperature regulation systems. What it does:
- Opens or closes an electrical circuit based on temperature to signal defrost or compressor control
- Helps stop defrost heater when the evaporator reaches target temperature
- Can prevent extended cooling cycles when the sensed temperature indicates the system has reached desired cold
- Restores normal cycling when a failed thermostat causes continuous run or no cooling
What's included: One thermodisc temperature switch Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
- Confirm location and orientation with the appliance wiring diagram before removal
- Handle the sensor element carefully; avoid bending or damaging the capillary/sensing tip
- After installation, observe normal defrost and cooling cycles
