Compatibility Notes
-
This thermostat is intended for compatible refrigerator models with mechanical cold-control temperature regulators, not for digital or electronic board-controlled units.
-
Because temperature control is key to safe food storage, if your fridge is still under warranty or has complex diagnostics done, consult your technician first. This ensures the problem isn’t caused by other components (e.g., compressor, evaporator fan, door gasket) which this part alone won’t fix.
-
The installation should be performed by a qualified service technician or experienced DIYer comfortable with powered appliances. Ensure power to the appliance is turned off before servicing.
