Refrigerator Can-Air Control Board Parts

This refrigerator defrost timer automatically starts and ends the defrost cycle to melt frost from the evaporator coils. Replacing a failed timer restores consistent cooling performance and helps prevent frost buildup that can restrict airflow.

• Controls the timed switch between cooling and defrost to keep evaporator coils clear of frost
• Common symptoms of failure: heavy frost on the evaporator or back panel, fresh food section too warm, unit runs constantly, or won't resume cooling after defrost
• Restores proper frost removal and airflow for stable temperatures
• Designed to match the original timer's function and wiring connections for applicable models

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access location varies by model—often in the fresh food control housing or rear machine compartment
• Photograph/label wire positions and transfer them to the matching terminals on the new timer
• Reuse original mounting hardware and install in the same orientation as the original

This is the mechanical cold-control thermostat for the freezer. It senses temperature and switches the cooling system on and off to maintain your selected setting, restoring steady freezer temps and normal compressor cycling.

• Regulates freezer temperature by opening/closing electrical contacts to control cooling
• Symptoms of a failing control include freezer too warm or too cold
• Unit runs constantly, won't start, or won't shut off at set point
• Temperature knob feels unresponsive or no distinct "click" when turned

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the control housing; note wiring and transfer leads one at a time
• Route the sensing tube exactly as original; do not kink, pinch, or cut it
• Set to a mid setting after install and allow up to 24 hours for temps to stabilize

This main power control board is the appliance's central electronic module. It routes incoming power and coordinates key functions so the unit powers up, runs, and responds to controls as designed, restoring reliable operation when the original board fails. What it does:

• Distributes and regulates power to motors, valves, and other loads
• Processes inputs from sensors and user controls, switching relays/triacs accordingly
• Coordinates start-up and run cycles for consistent performance
• Typical symptoms include a dead/unresponsive unit, intermittent shutoffs, specific components not running, or visible heat damage on the board

• 1 main power control board

• Disconnect power before servicing; discharge any capacitors where applicable
• Use ESD protection and handle the board by the edges
• Photograph/label all connectors; transfer any jumpers or settings from the old board to the same positions if present
• Inspect wiring and connected components for shorts before restoring power

The defrost timer governs the automatic defrost cycle, periodically switching the refrigerator from cooling to defrost. Replacing a failed timer restores reliable defrosting to limit frost buildup and help maintain steady, consistent temperatures. What it does:

• Advances the system through run and defrost periods at set intervals
• Sends power to the defrost heater during defrost, then returns the unit to cooling
• A failed timer may cause heavy frost on the evaporator, poor cooling, or continuous running
• A timer that does not advance or is stuck can leave the refrigerator in defrost or prevent defrost entirely

• 1 defrost timer

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access location varies by model
• Photograph wire positions; move wires one at a time to the matching terminals on the new timer
• Transfer any mounting bracket, secure the timer, and restore power to verify operation

The Cold Control is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component regulates the temperature inside the refrigerator by controlling the operation of the compressor and the flow of refrigerant. It ensures that the interior remains at the desired temperature to keep food fresh. This temperature control thermostat features a 16" capillary tube. 

Over time, the cold control can become faulty due to regular wear and tear, electrical issues, or exposure to moisture. A malfunctioning cold control can result in temperature fluctuations and ineffective cooling.

Symptoms of a bad cold control include:

• The refrigerator not maintaining the correct temperature
• The compressor running continuously or not at all
• Frost buildup in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator being too warm or too cold

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some Kenmore models.

This control board is responsible for controlling the main electronic functions of the refrigerator. It monitors and manages the temperature and cooling settings of the appliance. Models that are compatible with this part can have the temperature adjusted digitally. If a control board is damaged or faulty, the set temperature of the appliance will not match the actual temperature reading the machine is putting out.To install this control board, open the refrigerator door, and make a note of the small white box on the ceiling area of the refrigerator. Remove the four screws holding this box in place. The control board is contained in the box and can be removed by popping the clip. Unplug the old board from the wiring harness and install the new one.This Whirlpool refrigerator control board is a genuine OEM part and is sourced directly from the manufacturer.

The Cold Control is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It plays a key role in regulating the refrigeration cycle and maintaining optimal temperatures inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The cold control sensor monitors interior conditions and signals the compressor and condenser fan module to turn on or off accordingly.

Causes of bad cold control can include fatigue of internal components from repeated cycling over the refrigerator's lifespan, mineral or moisture buildup affecting sensors and circuitry, or failure due to sudden temperature fluctuations. 

Symptoms of a bad cold control include:

• Inconsistent or fluctuating temperatures within compartments
• The refrigerator or freezer running constantly 
• Food not staying freshest as long as expected
• Frost or ice buildup inside that is difficult to remove

This OEM Frigidaire replacement part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This part shields and positions the temperature control's sensing bulb inside the control housing, helping the control respond accurately and keep cabinet temperatures stable. Replace a cracked, deformed, or missing barrier to restore consistent, predictable cooling. What it does:

• Shields the cold-control thermostat/capillary bulb from direct airflow
• Helps the temperature control sense average compartment temperature and cycle correctly
• Supports steady temperatures and normal run times
• A damaged or missing barrier may contribute to temperature swings or frequent control adjustments

• 1 thermostat barrier

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the control housing; remove the dial/cover and any retaining screws or clips
• Note the factory routing of the thermostat capillary; install the barrier without kinking or sharply bending the sensor tube
• Reassemble, set controls to mid-range, and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

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
