The Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It regulates the temperature inside the refrigerator and freezer compartments by controlling the cooling cycles, ensuring food and beverages are kept at the desired temperature.
Over time, thermostats can fail due to electrical malfunctions, wear and tear, or exposure to fluctuating temperatures. A faulty thermostat can disrupt the cooling process, leading to inconsistent temperatures.
Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:
- Refrigerator or freezer too warm or too cold
- Inconsistent temperature maintenance
- Refrigerator running continuously or not at all
- Spoiled food due to improper cooling
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
