Refrigerator Temperature Control, Cold Control

This temperature control assembly senses and regulates temperature to keep your appliance cycling correctly and maintaining set temperatures. It replaces a failed or inaccurate control to restore reliable temperature performance. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and signals the system to cycle cooling/heating components
• Helps maintain consistent temperature by opening/closing electrical contacts
• Commonly used to stop continuous running or prevent temperature drift
• Resolve symptoms like incorrect temperature, compressor/heater running too long, or intermittent cooling/heating

• One temperature control assembly

• Always disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle electrical terminals carefully; ensure secure connections and correct orientation
• Wiring against the appliance wiring diagram or service manual before installation

This refrigerator thermostat regulates internal temperature by cycling the cooling system so food stays at the right temperature. Replaces a failed control to restore stable cooling and normal compressor cycling. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and opens/closes the circuit to the compressor and fans
• Helps maintain set temperature by turning cooling on and off as needed
• Commonly linked to symptoms like inconsistent temperatures, constant running compressor, or no cooling
• Compatible with systems that use a capillary-style temperature control

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service
• Handle the sensor capillary and bulb gently to avoid kinking or damage
• Verify wiring locations and secure connections before restoring power

This freezer temperature control regulates the freezer compartment temperature so frozen foods stay properly chilled. Replaces a failed control to restore consistent cooling and temperature adjustments. What it does:

• Senses and controls freezer temperature by cycling the compressor and/or evaporator components
• Helps correct symptoms like a freezer that runs constantly, won't reach set temperature, or cycles irregularly
• Works as the user-facing temperature adjustment mechanism for the freezer section
• Interfaces with the fridge's cooling system to maintain the selected temperature range

• One freezer temperature control

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access may require removing the control housing or console; keep track of fasteners and knob position
• Handle electrical connectors carefully and match wiring locations when reinstalling

This temperature control is the thermostat that monitors refrigerator temps and cycles cooling components to maintain the selected setpoint. Replacing a faulty control helps restore consistent cooling and prevents temperature swings that risk food spoilage. What it does

• Senses interior temperature and sends signals to the compressor and fans to start or stop as needed.
• Regulates cycling to maintain the user-set temperature and prevent over- or under-cooling.
• Common symptom indicator: erratic temperatures, fridge running constantly, or compressor not cycling.
• Works as the control interface between the thermostat sensor and the cooling system components.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any service to avoid shock or damage.
• Handle electronic components and wiring gently; unplug connectors by the plug, not the wires.
• Access may require removing the control housing or rear cover.

This genuine OEM part is a temperature control thermostat for refrigerators. The temperature control thermostat is the part that regulates and adjusts the temperature settings of the refrigerator. If the refrigerator is no longer maintaining the desired temperature settings, not cooling, or otherwise not operating properly, it will need to be replaced. To replace this part, make sure the refrigerator is unplugged. After unplugging, proceed to open the refrigerator door and remove all the interior shelving. Once removed, proceed to unmount the screws that hold the interior panels in place. Once loosened, remove the panels to access the temperature control thermostat. After locating the part, unthread the mounting screws that secure the thermostat to its housing. After unthreading, pull the old thermostat out and remove the wire harness that it is attached to. Replace it with the new thermostat and proceed to reinstall the interior panels of the refrigerator. This replacement part is sold individually and is compatible with Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Westinghouse brand refrigerators.

This thermostat weight assembly secures the temperature control sensor and adds the proper thermal mass so the control can read and respond to cabinet temperatures accurately. Replacing a missing or damaged weight helps maintain stable on/off cycling and consistent temperatures.

• Holds the thermostat/cold control sensing bulb or capillary in the correct position
• Adds thermal mass for smoother, more accurate temperature control
• Helps reduce rapid cycling and temperature swings
• Safe symptoms: original weight is missing/broken, sensing bulb is loose or rattling, erratic cycling, or inconsistent temperatures

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the temperature control/sensing bulb area and note the original weight's location
• Transfer/install the weight in the same position and orientation
• Handle the capillary/sensing bulb carefully—do not kink or puncture it

This temperature control is the thermostat that regulates your refrigerator's internal temperature, helping maintain safe cooling and proper food preservation. It replaces a failed control to restore consistent temperature cycling. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and commands the compressor and fans to cycle on/off
• Restores temperature regulation when a fridge runs too warm, too cold, or cycles continuously
• Helps prevent food spoilage by keeping temperatures within the set range
• Works as the user-accessible control that responds to dial or electronic setpoint input

• One temperature control (thermostat) as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock
• Access typically requires removing the control housing or panel; keep screws and knobs for reassembly
• Handle electrical connectors gently; ensure secure connections before restoring power

This thermostat regulates oven temperature to maintain consistent cooking heat. It replaces a failed temperature control that causes incorrect baking or uneven cooking. What it does:

• Senses oven temperature and signals the heating system to turn on or off
• Helps restore accurate temperature control when the oven runs too hot or too cold
• Commonly used when oven cycles irregularly or displays temperature-related cooking problems
• Works as the control sensor for maintaining set cooking temperatures

• One thermostat assembly

• Turn power to the appliance off at the breaker before starting work
• Mounting and connector locations vary by model; verify fit before final installation
