I just repaired my 25+ year old fridge with the help of your video, thank you so much for uploading it and explaining every step so well. I have no clue about repairing appliances but you made it easy, thank you for saving me a bunch of repair cost or even worse buying a new fridge and in addition making me feel very good accomplishing this job. A 65 year old woman :-)

Great easy do it yourself fix. I was sure ready to buy another refrigerator but you saved me. I'm proud of myself for being able to do it, with your help, of course. You saved me a lot of money. The local appliance guy knew which part I needed by describing it to me, you provided the how to, and I furnished the labor. What a great team we are!!!!!!!!

Your are great, helping us to fight against planned obsolescence. In case it helps others, my replacement thermostat had the two electrical connectors at the same level, so I couldn't put the black one on top and the orange one on the bottom. The orange and the black wires can be swapped, so it doesn't matter where you connect them. The thermostat is just a contact (or not) between the wires, so the polarity doesn't matter. But of course the ground (green/yellow) must be connected to the proper pin (on the other side of the thermostat).

This video was amazing!!! Thank you so much. I have no idea what I am doing but felt empowered to try and this video couldn’t have been more exact. I am currently doing somersaults as I plugged in my fridge. 24 years old and still ticking!!! Thank you thank you thank you!

This is the best video I have found for changing the thermostat. The process was detailed with excellent video footage. This saved hundreds in service cost. Thanks Matt.

Same model from 2001' ! I followed the gents advice step by step , the fridge reset itself and works like a top! Thank you! Saves a $200 tech visit! We are shopping for a new one of course ,because of the age but that $200 will go towards the new one! Great video!

Great video! Thanks mill for the instructions... I got an estimate to fix my fridge for $450. I read Whirlpool's troubleshooting guide, order a replacement thermostat online for $90, and then followed the steps you show in this video. It took me a grand total of an hour to git'er done and that's only because I had a hard time finding a 1/4" socket to remove some of the screws that don't have groove for screwdriver in my tools shed, otherwise it would have been 30 min.I saved $360 in the process. Thanks again

Great video. Helped me diagnose my Whirlpool and do the repair. The fella in the video took his time, explained everything thoroughly and you could clearly see how the repair was done. You are worth your weight in gold. Thank you!

Hey Matt, Thank you for the well produced, easy to understand video! It made taking care of the job on my own very easy and straight forward. Although the Thermostat was $103 here in BC Canada, I saved a ton on service fee's. For those interested in analyzing what their potential problem could be, the first sign of an issue for me was that the water dispenser suddenly stopped working. The compressor sounded fine and was running okay and there was a nice cool flow from the vent in the back corner of the fridge, but it didn't take long to realize that the items in the side-by-side fridge were freezing. Pop got slushy, the milk turned rock hard in the carton as did apples on the top shelf. Of course the compressor was running continually since the Thermostat wasn't making it shut off and that's why the water stopped working in the door (since the line froze) and then the fridge side items froze. Since this was discovered at night I had to wait until the next day to take care of it so that gave me time to find this video while in the meantime I flipped the breaker for the fridge so it didn't keep running all night long. Not to mention that I thought the freezing could possibly end up making the water line in the fridge expand and blow causing a leak somewhere. I knew everything would be okay in the fridge over night without power. Matt's video comfortably convinced me that the Thermostat was the culprit so I went out today, bought one and easily installed it. The fridge is running perfectly now. Mine is a side by side Maytag with cooling control sliders underneath the thermostat housing rather than turn knobs like the one Matt is working on although I can see that the set up is very similar. Because of the control slider being connected to the thermostat I assume it's more than the one Matt shows us here. I think $100 is way too much for a part like this but what can you do? My Fridge is a side-by-side Maytag and the Thermostat part number is: 2315562 Couldn't be a more simple job that can be done by a novice in half an hour with a few basic tools. Don't think you can't do it and don't be so lazy as to call a repairman for this quick fix. Thanks Matt! AAA+++

Mentioned previously but worth putting at the top again - many replacement thermostats have the electrical connectors in a front/back orientation versus the original top/bottom. The two electrical wires are interchangeable so it doesn't matter which goes where, as long as the ground wire goes on the ground connector. Also, the most time consuming/tedious/delicate part is putting the plastic tube back over the metal capillary tube. Helped to have a latex glove for a little grip and keeping dexterity. Second most tedious part is the two silver phillips screws that don't mount the thermostat housing to the panel....those two mount the motherboard to the panel and are a true joy to get back in right.

Very helpful video. I would just add that my web search for the part, at the site shown in the lower r/h of this video, had the part selling in the $100 range. There were several options on Amazon of the exact part for under $15. I paid around $14 and it came with a new capillary tube installed. Mine has been installed and is working great. Also worth noting is that after watching this video and visiting the site mentioned above, (but BEFORE going to Amazon), I received spam email referencing this repair. I did NOT provide my email although my KZread feed is associated with the address that the spam showed up in.

I bought mine off of Amazon too, and it is working like a charm! It only cost me $15.00 and was shipped to me for free.

I was rescuing my food after my fridge conked out on me and as I was emptying the top shelf to transfer the food over to my vintage kegerator fridge, I bumped the housing with this thermostat in it and the compressor kicked back on and actually cooled the unit down to operating temp! It seems to have failed again overnight, but I smacked it again this morning and the compressor kicked on again, so it hopefully is this temp control unit. Better to try the cheap fixes before spending the skrilla to buy a whole new unit. Thanks for the clear instructional video Matt!

@@Paul-zm1hb- Smacking it lasted long enough to find the part I needed at a reasonable price, which was about a week, then another week for delivery, and probably a few more days til I had the time to plan for and do the job, which only took me maybe 45 minutes. Getting the fridge and freezer temps calibrated was kind of a PITA, and took a bit of fiddling around with it. The temp of the freezer affects the temp of the fridge, so if you make an adjustment to one, you have to also make an adjustment to the other, so it took maybe a week to get them both dialed in to where they should be, but it's been working well for a couple years now, knock on wood! Having a digital fridge thermometer helped a lot.

My temp control has red wire on top and orange wire on bottom. No double black wires. I've changed out the relay, overload and now this thermostat to get my fridge to stay cool. If I still have problems with fridge getting too warm and compressor/condenser not starting soon enough to keep it cooler, I'll look at the capacitor next I guess. Hopefully this is the final part that fixed it. Great instructions!

Great you are the best thank you for making me save money 💰

Notes: When you MOUNT your fridge temperature control, take note that you put the BRACKET behind the temperature control and the metal "ears" in front because the screws screw into the sheet metal of the bracket and that's what it catches on, NOT the metal ears of the temperature control knob. Also be aware that on this type of refrigeration system, is doesn't use a temperature sensor near the damper motor like many models do. It's an older model, so it uses a capillary tube which moves liquid through it based on temperature, which assumingly puts pressure on some metal contacts. This is a little bit assumption on my part already but think of the temperature control knob as a means of putting a certain amount of "preload" on the metal contacts, in other words, drawing the metal contacts nearer or farther away depending on how soon you want the switch to close based on the fluid pressure. Note that the bracket that holds the fridge temperature control knob also holds the freezer temperature control knob.

We have a kenmore 106.41512101 sidexside. I just replaced this cold control and the defrost timer. Along with the defrost thermal sensor on the evaporator and did not see much ice or frost on the evaporator. Compressor will go off after a number of hours but still running more often than I remember doing and freezing veggies at the lower bins in fridge section. Wondering if you could confirm that the freezer control knob pictured here is a manual operation for the damper control? I don’t see that this is an automatic damper from inside of the freezer on ours and It does open an close that vent area with the knob. Any thoughts on what I could change next or test that makes sense? Could not find the control board for the evap. and sensors for the fridge yet unless it’s by the Compressor.?

Thank you! You made a very good video!

If too much of the bulb at the end of the tube is exposed because the capillary cover is not pulled up just to the very end of it but some of it sticks out, will that affect how the thermostat works in a major way? If there was a kink or sharp bend and you unbend it, is it still going to be ruined and must be kept hollow inside or it won't work? When you order the part, does it come already calibrated to work for the particular refrigerator and will not work in any other nor will any other part number be calibrated to work in place of it? How does the freezer control cool down if it does not have a thermostat behind that knob on the left, the thermostat being only behind the refrigerator control? I am trying to better understand what I would be getting myself into by DIY - thanks.

very impressed with your quick response👍

Matt, How can you tell the cut in and cut out temp on the stat and, can you adjust them to cut out at a lower temp?

I don't understand the capillary tube... is there somewhere that it plugs into or do you just wrap it around that block? I'm really confused as to what exactly that tube is supposed to do if it's not plugged into anything...

@appliancepartspros

11 ай бұрын

The capillary tube is what helps controls the temperature. You don't want to wrap it around anything. If you are installing a new cold control you will want to install it the same way the old one was installed.

My unit has a clicking noise coming from the control panel area (area located behind the top cover when I open frig door). Could this be the thermostat contacts? Or the control board (relay)? Usually happens just before/after the compressor engages.

I always remove the whole control panel and change the control then. Just remove the phillips screw that holds the freezer control adjuster part. I do have trouble getting the plastic tube back on the capillary tube. It gets very tight from the middle on. Any tips on making that easier?

Thanks for the tip! Glad you liked the video.

There are contacts inside the control that open and close to regulate the temperature. They usually fail by sticking together, which would make it run all the time or the contacts corrode/fail and contact is not made so it does not run. Maybe saying shorted out confused the issue as it is not technically a short. Sometimes the control is in the state where it has almost completely failed, that is when moving it or tapping on it may make it work again for awhile. You can test it for continuity, it should not have continuity when off and it should when it is on.

And it's 120v, if anyone tries above, unplug and make sure a jumper wire touches nothing else.

This helped me replace the part, but for some reason the freezer knob will not fit onto the control. I line up the thin piece and the wide piece, but just will not go on no matter how hard I push. If I stick the knob in it allows me to spin the control, so I just set it where it needs to be, but do you know why this is happening?

The defrost timer is located to the right of the control.

There is a really loud noise coming out from my fridge. It looks like is coming from the thermostat, When I turn off the thermostat automatically the noise stopped. Any advice to fix this problem. Thank you very much

The thermostat should be pretty quiet if it is making a lot of noise it could be failing.
