Amana Refrigerator BB20V1E Fridge too cold

This thermostat is a temperature safety device that opens the circuit if temperatures climb beyond the safe threshold. Replacing a failed thermostat helps protect the appliance from overheating and restores normal heating performance.

• Monitors internal temperature and cuts power if it overheats
• Helps prevent damage to components from excessive heat
• Common failure signs include no heat, intermittent heat, or the unit shutting off on high heat
• Shows continuity when cool and open when tripped

• Disconnect power before service; verify no voltage is present
• Access location varies by model; note wire positions and transfer one at a time
• Mount firmly against the intended surface for proper sensing
• After replacement, verify airflow/venting and clear lint/debris to avoid repeat trips
