WR50X29776 - GE Refrigerator Thermostat

This GE Refrigerator Thermostat (WR50X29776) is a genuine part designed specifically for GE brand refrigerators. It plays a critical role in maintaining the appropriate temperature levels within your appliance by interacting with various components such as the compressor, condenser fan, evaporator fan, and others. This thermostat utilizes a sensor bulb and capillary tube positioned at the evaporator outlet to accurately gauge the cold air temperature inside the compartments. As an automatic on/off switch, it activates the refrigeration system's components to cool the interior when the air temperature rises above a predetermined value and deactivates them once the desired temperature is reached. Additionally, this part includes a defrost thermostat to prevent the coils from overheating during defrost cycles. Symptoms indicating the need for a replacement include inconsistent temperatures within the refrigerator, an overactive or underactive cooling system, or a refrigerator that fails to start the cooling process. Prior to purchasing, please confirm compatibility with your refrigerator's model number.
