WR09X20002 - GE Refrigerator Thermostat

This GE Refrigerator Thermostat (WR09X20002) is a genuine part manufactured by GE, tailored specifically for GE refrigerators. It operates by utilizing thermostatic switches to regulate temperatures in the fresh food and freezer compartments through a thermostat sensor bulb and capillary tube connected to the evaporator outlet. This component is essential in controlling the compressor, condenser fan, evaporator fan, and other necessary parts to maintain precise temperature ranges in each compartment. The thermostat also plays a crucial role in activating the compressor and fans when the evaporator air temperature rises above a set point, ensuring efficient cooling. Similarly, it deactivates these components as temperatures decrease to the desired range, providing automatic temperature control by cycling the refrigeration system in response to changes measured at the evaporator.

Signs that your refrigerator's thermostat may need replacing include inconsistent temperatures, the refrigerator or freezer compartment becoming too warm, or the compressor running too frequently or not at all. Replacing a faulty thermostat can help restore proper temperature control and efficiency to your refrigerator. Before purchasing, please verify your refrigerator's model number to ensure compatibility with this thermostat.
