Whirlpool WP61002043 Refrigerator Temperature Control Thermostat

The thermostat that controls the temperature in your refrigerator, the Whirlpool WP61002043, is a little but crucial part of the appliance. This thermostat is essential to ensuring that your food is kept at a constant, safe temperature. It works by continuously taking the temperature inside. The thermostat functions as a switch when the temperature deviates from the setting you have selected. If the temperature rises, it activates the compressor, which cools the refrigerator. The thermostat turns off the compressor to prevent freezing if it becomes too cold. The WP61002043 Thermostat provides excellent cooling performance and efficient operation by precisely controlling the compressor cycles. This means fresher food for longer and lower energy bills.
