✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Refrigerator section too warm
• Refrigerator section too cold
• Freezer temperature affected by improper compressor cycling

Check Before Replacing

• Unplug the refrigerator before inspecting the thermostat, wiring, or connectors.
• Confirm the temperature control is set appropriately and moves normally without binding.
• Inspect accessible thermostat wiring and terminals for loose connections, damage, or corrosion.
• Observe whether the compressor responds when the temperature control is adjusted; lack of response does not by itself prove the thermostat is defective.
• Use the refrigerator’s model-specific service information for any continuity or voltage testing; electrical testing should be performed only with appropriate training and equipment.
