Refrigerator stopped working one night. Google resulted in a gamble on replacing the thermostat and or defrost cycle mechanism. I decided to spend the $xx.xx on this thermostat. Result: refrigerator is back in working condition. Saved me $xxx.xx on a repairman and $xxxx.xx on a new refrigerator.

Shipping was relatively quick and packaging was okay. Only major concern I had was the metal wire (probe). When it arrived, it was coiled. I had to uncoil it and shape it to the slot in the fridge. I was concerned I would snap it but it held up.

If this part works on your refrigerator and you suspect it's the thermostat, I definitely recommend buying this product. Amazon's return policy is a plus as well.

About this item: The part received matched the original perfectly. No delivery problems. Functions just as it should, as far as I can tell. Packaging was a little casual, luckily it is not a fragile item.

To other handy-persons wondering if they should replace their fridge's thermostat: We have an older fridge that was cycling on and off erratically. Symptoms could be temporarily relieved by tapping directly on the thermostat housing. Seemed likely that the thermostat was problematic. On replacing the thermostat the erratic cycling was cured but I was surprised to find that other odd behaviors such as compressor-motor noise and excessively long running times have also been cured. Who knew thermostats affected all that (not me!).

Honest reviews on Whirlpool 2204605 Thermostat for Refrigerator

Thought this was the bad part because the fridge would just shut down, unless you knocked it right where this is located. After having it happen one night and ruining a lot of food I looked up the part on an appliance parts web site. I decided to plug the part # into Amazon and see what happened. There it was for less and FREE shipping. I ordered it and it arrived on time, packed safely cushioned in its box.Unplug the fridge and remove the shroud housing the old one it making sure to keep track of the screw. Make note of the position of everything then replace exactly with the new one. I Put everything back and two months later not one shut down, everything works great. Very happy with part, order process and price.
