This cold control kit replaces the mechanical temperature control thermostat that regulates your refrigerator or freezer's cooling. Restore proper temperature regulation and consistent cycling when the original control sticks, drifts out of calibration, or fails intermittently.

• Senses compartment temperature with a capillary bulb and opens/closes contacts to maintain the set temperature
• Cycles the cooling system on and off for steady, reliable performance
• Common symptoms: too warm or over-cooling/freezing items, unit won't start unless the dial is moved, runs constantly, erratic temperature swings, unresponsive temperature dial
• Helps correct intermittent cooling caused by worn or pitted thermostat contacts

• Disconnect power before servicing; work in a dry area
• Access the control housing, note wire locations, and transfer wires to the new control one at a time
• Route and secure the sensing bulb/capillary exactly as original; do not kink or sharply bend it
• Set to a mid-range setting after installation and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize

This rubber compressor mounting grommet cushions and isolates the compressor to reduce vibration and noise that can transfer to the cabinet. It helps maintain stable compressor positioning for quieter, smoother operation. What it does:

• Absorbs compressor vibration to lower noise and rattling
• Dampens movement that can cause abrasion or wear on mounting hardware
• Helps maintain proper alignment of the compressor assembly
• Common symptom: excessive buzzing, vibration, or rattling from the back of the appliance

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Support the compressor before removing mounts to prevent shifting or damage.
• Inspect surrounding mounts and hardware; replace any worn or damaged pieces.
