Fridge too warm or freezing everything? Check the thermostat

A fridge thermostat senses the cabinet temperature, often through a capillary tube or sensing bulb, and opens or closes its contacts to start and stop the compressor. When it fails, the fridge may run nonstop and freeze food in the fresh food section, stop cooling altogether, or cycle erratically. Turning the dial and hearing no click is a common clue. Before replacing it, rule out a blocked condenser, a failed fan or an iced up evaporator, which can cause similar warm or cold symptoms.

Changing the fridge thermostat

Unplug the fridge or switch it off at the wall first. If your thermostat has a capillary or sensing tube, note how it's routed and clipped, as the new one must sit in the same spot to read the right temperature. Swap the wires across one at a time, refit the knob and housing, then give the fridge several hours to settle before checking the temperature.

Questions about this part

My fridge is warm. Is it definitely the thermostat?

Not always. Warm fridges are also caused by dirty condenser coils, failed fans, frosted evaporators or compressor problems. If the thermostat doesn't click when turned through its range, it's a stronger suspect. A technician can confirm before you order.
