There are 55 models on file, including the RE281V, the RE311K and RE351K, the RE391K as well, then the RE441K and RE521K, the RP342K and RP423K, and the CS390BFNZ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFridge running warm, too cold or not cycling?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thermostat is the dial control that turns the compressor on and off. A capillary tube runs from its body to a point near the cooling surface, and as the temperature changes the gas inside expands or contracts and snaps a set of contacts. When the thermostat fails, the contacts can stick closed, so the compressor never stops and food freezes, or stick open, so the fridge never starts cooling. A knob that turns with no click, a fridge that only cools at one setting, or a compressor that runs nonstop are all signs to check this part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Electrolux group part 4055942884\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarlier numbers 5371269 and 5306108A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapillary tube thermostat for fridge temperature control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed for 55 Kelvinator and Westinghouse models, mostly RE and RP series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting a fridge thermostat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the fridge before you start. Pull the knob off and remove the thermostat housing, then photograph the terminals and how the capillary tube is routed and clipped. Thread the new tube back along the same path and seat its end in the same spot, as a tube in the wrong place gives false temperatures. Avoid kinking the tube. Reconnect, refit the knob and check the fridge cycles on and off over a few hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I find my model number?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOlder Kelvinator and Westinghouse fridges have a rating plate inside the fresh food section, often on a side wall or at the back near the crisper.
