It is also known by the numbers 1415518 and 1401960, so if either one is printed on your old thermostat or shown in your parts list, this is the kit you want. Because it's the factory part, it is intended for these cabinets, with no guesswork that comes with a universal thermostat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWestinghouse fridge too warm or freezing food? Check the thermostat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thermostat senses temperature through a capillary tube and switches the compressor on and off to hold the setting on the dial. If its contacts stick closed, the compressor runs nonstop and food in the fridge section starts to freeze. If they fail open, the compressor never starts, so the cabinet slowly warms up while the light still works. Other clues include a dial that changes nothing, the compressor clicking on and off in quick bursts, or milk going off well before its date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Westinghouse part 1760008316\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross references 1415518 and 1401960\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso referenced as WPF25W-408-029T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits RJ412, RJ422, RJ442, RJ452, RJ522 and RJ532 series fridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSwapping the thermostat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurn the fridge off at the wall first.
