216788000 - Electrolux Refrigerator Thermostat

This Electrolux Refrigerator Thermostat (216788000) is a genuine part designed for your Electrolux appliance, ensuring precise temperature regulation within your refrigerator. Compatible with brands like Frigidaire, Gibson, Westinghouse, and Uni, this thermostat extends to a wide range of models. Also known as a "temperature control" or simply a "control," it's essential for maintaining the ideal environment for your food and beverages. The refrigerator utilizes thermostatic switches to regulate temperatures in the fresh food and freezer compartments. It connects to the evaporator via a sensor bulb and capillary tube, accurately measuring cold air temperature. This thermostat manages the compressor, condenser fan, evaporator fan, and other components to keep temperatures within specific ranges. When the evaporator air temperature rises above the set point, it activates the compressor and fans to enhance cooling. Conversely, as the temperature lowers, the thermostat deactivates these components to prevent overcooling. A separate defrost thermostat ensures that the coils do not overheat during defrost cycles. Symptoms that may indicate your refrigerator's thermostat is failing or broken include inconsistent temperatures, the refrigerator or freezer compartment becoming too warm, or the compressor and fans not activating as expected. Before making a purchase, kindly verify your device's model number for compatibility to ensure that this part will suit your needs.
