The part is listed for 18 C and N series models, including the C170T, the C240B and C250T, the C370, the C380B and the C420T, and the N169T, N249T and N325T, plus the N369B, the N395B and the N405T.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOlder F\u0026amp;P fridge running warm or not switching off?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mechanical thermostat uses a gas-filled capillary tube to sense the temperature inside the fridge and opens or closes a switch to run the compressor. With age the contacts burn or the capillary loses its charge. The fridge then runs warm, cycles erratically, never switches off and freezes everything, or won't start at all even though the light comes on. Turning the dial without hearing a click is another hint. Before ordering, make sure the compressor and its starting relay aren't the real fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Fisher \u0026amp; Paykel thermostat 878372P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRanco K59 series control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces 883710P and 878259\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eListed for 18 C and N series fridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eControl type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRanco K59 series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing the thermostat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the fridge at the wall.
