Description
This thermostat is a temperature-sensitive switch that controls power to cooling components as temperatures change. Replacing a worn thermostat restores consistent cycling and more accurate temperature regulation, helping the appliance maintain stable performance. What it does:
- Senses temperature and opens/closes electrical contacts at set points
- Regulates operation of key cooling components to maintain target temperature
- Helps prevent overcooling, overheating, and erratic cycling
- Failure signs include: no cooling, overcooling, temperature swings, unit runs continuously, or short-cycling
What's included:
Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing; verify no voltage is present
- Access the thermostat location; label/photograph wire positions and transfer one at a time
- Install in the same position and orientation as the original to ensure proper thermal response
- Restore power and confirm proper cycling and temperature control
