It comes packed as a service part. We don't have a model list for this number, and Fisher \u0026amp; Paykel used several thermostats that look much alike, so compare 883709P with the number on your old thermostat, or give us your model and serial number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFridge too warm, freezing up or running nonstop?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA control thermostat senses cabinet temperature through a thin gas-filled capillary tube. When the cabinet warms past the set point, its contacts close and the compressor starts, then they open again once it's cold enough. If the thermostat fails, the fridge may stop cooling altogether, run without ever switching off and freeze food, or cycle erratically. Turning the dial and hearing no click is a common sign. Before replacing it, check the fan, the defrost system and the door seals, which can cause similar symptoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Fisher \u0026amp; Paykel part 883709P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl thermostat for refrigeration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitches cooling on and off to hold the set temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied packed as a service part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing a fridge thermostat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the fridge at the wall first. Photograph the wires on the old thermostat before pulling any terminals off, and note exactly how the capillary tube is routed and clipped, since the new tube needs to sit in the same spot to read correctly. Don't kink or sharply bend the capillary. Once fitted, set the dial to a middle setting and give the fridge a day to settle before adjusting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs 883712P the same thermostat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. 883712P is a separate Fisher \u0026amp; Paykel control thermostat with its own number. Thermostats are calibrated to suit particular cabinets, so order the number that matches your old part or your model's parts list rather than the one that looks closest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fisher \u0026 Paykel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551433355342,"sku":"883709P","price":135.44,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/883709p-genuine-fisher-and-paykel-fridge-control-thermostat","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
