This temperature control is the user-adjustable thermostat that regulates refrigerator/freezer compartment temperature for reliable cooling. It restores stable temperature selection and helps the appliance maintain set cooling levels. What it does:

• Senses compartment temperature and signals the compressor or cooling system to cycle on/off
• Lets you change temperature settings using the control knob or selector
• Can stop erratic cycling if the original control is failing
• Commonly replaced when the refrigerator runs too cold, too warm, or won't maintain set temperature

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work to avoid electrical shock
• Replace like-for-like; match mounting orientation and wiring terminals per OEM instructions
• Handle the control and wiring harness carefully to avoid damage to terminals or connectors
