WP2315562 Whirlpool Refrigerator/Freezer Temperature Control Thermostat Assembly

The Refrigerator/Freezer Temperature Control Thermostat Assembly is essential for managing the internal temperature of your refrigerator, ensuring it doesn't overheat. It is compatible with various Whirlpool brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, it serves as an OEM replacement part for certain Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models. This component works by turning the compressor on and off to maintain the desired temperature in both the freezer and fresh food sections.

It's important to note that while the appearance of this thermostat may differ from the original, its functionality remains the same. When installing, connect the ground wire to the spade terminal on the mounting bracket. The two other power wires do not have a specific connection order and can be attached to any terminal.

This thermostat plays a key role in your refrigerator's efficiency, helping to keep your food fresh by regulating the temperature effectively.
