Description

This is a factory mechanical thermostat used in Whirlpool-built refrigeration systems. It senses temperature and opens/closes its contacts to maintain the set point, restoring reliable cycling and consistent, predictable cooling performance. What it does:

• Monitors temperature and switches an electrical circuit on or off at specific thresholds
• Helps maintain target temperature and proper system cycling
• Failure can cause erratic temperatures, poor cooling, continuous running, or failure to cycle
• Can lead to intermittent operation or clicking/chattering at the control

What's included:

• 1 mechanical thermostat

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing; verify the circuit is de-energized
• Note wire positions and terminal orientation; transfer any brackets or insulating sleeves from the original part
• Route and secure any sensing element or leads exactly as the original; avoid pinching, kinking, or contact with moving parts
• After replacement, set the control and allow the appliance to stabilize before making final adjustments
