GE (General Electric) Refrigerator Temperature Control WG03F06864, Replaces 245D1262P010

Genuine OEM temperature control, also referred to as a cold control. It regulates refrigerator temperature by turning the compressor on and off as needed to maintain the selected temperature.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Refrigerator section too warm
• Refrigerator section too cold
• Freezer section too warm
• Freezer section too cold

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the temperature-control setting is at its normal or midpoint setting, then allow up to 24 hours for compartment temperatures to stabilize after an adjustment.
• Measure actual fresh-food and freezer temperatures with an appliance thermometer rather than relying only on the control setting.
• Check that doors close fully and that the interior light turns off when the door is nearly closed; an interior light that remains on can add heat and affect cooling.
• Consider normal operating conditions before attributing a problem to this control: compressor run time can increase substantially in hot/humid conditions, after frequent door openings, or with a large warm-food load.
