OEM Genuine

This is an OEM genuine part. It is made by the original equipment manufacturer, the same company in the same factory that made the part fitted to your appliance when it was built, and it carries their part number. It is supplied to us without the appliance brand retail packaging, and that is the only reason it costs less than a boxed part bought from the brand. The part itself is the same part.

When To Replace

Replace the thermostat when the fridge runs warm no matter where the dial is set, when the compressor runs constantly and the cabinet over freezes, when the compressor never starts although the light works, or when turning the dial makes no difference at all. A thermostat with a kinked or leaking capillary tube must also be replaced.

Fitting

Unplug the appliance at the wall before starting. Remove the control housing, note the wiring positions, withdraw the capillary sensor from its tube taking care not to bend or kink it, and fit the new thermostat with the sensor pushed to the same depth. Fitting should be carried out by a qualified appliance technician.

Notes

Check the capillary length and the dial spindle against your original before fitting. Always check your model and serial rating plate against the model list above before ordering.
