If you have frost building up in your freezer, or the temperature in your fridge is running too warm, there may be an issue with the defrost thermostat. This thermostat sits on the top of the evaporator and protects it from overheating when the defrost cycle is running. It does this by regulating the temperature in your appliance, and should shut off the heater once the frost has melted off the coils. If you need a new thermostat, this is a genuine OEM replacement part. Please be sure to disconnect the power supply to your fridge before beginning this repair.

Temperature Control Thermostat

$83.15

Fix Number: FIX2582607
Manufacturer Part Number: 5304476700

This temperature control thermostat, commonly referred to as a cold control, is a key component responsible for regulating the internal temperature of a refrigerator or freezer. It continuously monitors compartment temperatures and automatically cycles the compressor on and off to maintain the user-selected cooling level, helping ensure consistent performance and proper food preservation. The design uses a liquid-filled capillary tube that reacts to temperature changes to trigger the internal switch. When this control begins to fail, symptoms may include sections that are too warm or too cold, excessive frost buildup, water leakage, an appliance that will not start, or a compressor that runs constantly or not at all. Replacing a faulty temperature control helps restore accurate cooling regulation and dependable appliance operation, and the repair is generally straightforward with basic tools.
