This temperature control thermostat regulates refrigerator temperature by cycling the cooling system to keep food at safe temperatures. It replaces a faulty mechanical thermostat to restore reliable temperature control and consistent cooling. What it does:

• Senses interior temperature and opens/closes the control circuit to start/stop the compressor
• Commonly used when the refrigerator won't reach or hold the set temperature
• Works with the refrigerator's control housing and dial or lever interface to adjust desired temperature

• Disconnect power before starting work to avoid shock or damage
• Access may require removing the control housing or inner cabinet panels — use basic hand tools
• Verify electrical connections match the replacement part; transfer any mounting brackets or clips from the old part if needed

This flat washer provides a smooth, stable bearing surface for a fastener, helping distribute load and protect the mating surface. Use it when a worn or missing washer causes loose or unstable connections. What it does:

• Distributes clamping force across a wider area to prevent pull-through
• Protects finishes and reduces metal-on-metal wear under bolt heads or nuts
• Helps reduce loosening and vibration-related noise in assemblies
• Commonly used wherever a fastener needs a stable bearing surface

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before performing any repairs
• Remove surrounding panels or components as needed to access the fastener
• Replace the washer with the same size and orientation as the original
• Replace damaged or corroded fasteners with matching hardware
