The freezer would not stay cold enough to freeze
Part Select made it so easy, they told me to download the video I did and I had it fixed within 15 minutes. Part Select is awesome, they helped me diagnose it and told me what part I needed. I will definitely use them again, and I highly recommend them.

refrigerator not always cooling
After discovering I could give the thermostat box a rap with my hand and get it to start the fridge I got online at your site and found others were doing the same, before replacing the thermostat. I ordered the part from you and received it the next day! I used a long neck nut driver to remove the one screw holding the thermo box in place
... Read more and pliers to unplug the three wires on the thermo unit. After removing the control knob it slides right out. I unwound the temp sensor wire and tried to shape it like the old one before installing(making this sensor fit like the old one takes a little juggling). Then hooked the wires on the new unit that you sent and the fridge started working again flawlessly. Big savings!

Stopped cooling
Repair man that looked at it said it was the thermostat and that he would order the part. Waited two weeks with no word, so I ordered the part on line, got it the next day and installed it. The only hard part of the installation was getting to the three screws (located vertically in top of refrigerator section) to remove them. Simple t

Unfortunately, cooling again stopped within a day, so the original problem was more extensive than just the thermostat (so much for the service call diagnosis). Thoroughly pleased with part ordering, would do it again.

Freezer would not maintain cold temperature.
First, pulled knob off ot thermostat. Then, lowered control panel housing thermostat by unscrewing one screw. Removed old thermostat after taking off three wires. Replaced with new thermostat, secured wires, and screwed control panel to top of refrigerator. That's all it took. Challenge was finding the nut driver to loosen screw.

Faulty thermostat
My refrigerator is approximately seven years old (date of manufacture: 2001). I had come home twice in the last month to find that it had not been running for several hours (ice melted, milk spoiled, etc.) but it would start running again if I twisted the thermostat knob. So, I ordered a new thermostat. First I removed the 1/4" hex scr
... Read moreew that held the plastic thermostat housing in place (it screws up into the top of the refrigerator compartment). Then I removed the plastic thermostat knob and slid the old thermostat out of the housing. I then disconnected the wires one-by-one from the old thermostat and connected them to the new one so I could be certain they were all connected correctly. Finally, I pulled the plastic sheathing off the old sensor wire, slid it onto the new one and popped the wire back into place. Slide the thermostat back into the housing, screw the housing back into the top of the refrigerator compartment, replace the plastic thermostat knob, and the job is done.

How much of the tubing do i leave on over the sensor fridge # et1mhkxmt00 temperature control sensor 2204605
For model number 2204605
Hi Darrell,
Thank you for your question. There is a video on our website that you can reference on how to install the thermostat. The refrigerator in the video may not show exactly like the one you have, but it will give you a general idea on how to install the part. You will find the video under part number PS470790. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Where is the temperature control thermostat located on this refrigerator.
For model number ET1MTKXKQ01
Hello Larry, thank you for your question. The temperature control thermostat, PartSelect Number: PS11739602, for that unit is on the ceiling of the fridge behind the control knob where you set the temperature in the fridge. I hope this helps.

Hi Angel,
Thank you for your inquiry. To verify if this part is faulty you will need to test it with an ohms/multimeter.

Hi. Refrigerator fan is working constantly but freezer and fridge are too warm. Freezer is not freezing anything and refrigerator is warm. Will this part fix my problem?
For model number ET1MHKXMQ07
Hello David, Thank you for the question. We suggest testing the Temperature Control Thermostat, the Capacitor and Start-Device Combination on the compressor with a multi meter to check for continuity. We hope this helps.
The refrigerator is cooling and will run for what seems a normal period of time. When it shuts off, after about 5 to 10 seconds it will turn on again. After turning on, it will run for about 10 to 15 seconds and then shut off. It will cycle like this for 10 or more minutes before finally turning off and staying off for a normal period of time. Is this the temperature thermostat?
For model number ET1MHKXMT06
Hello Charles, thank you for your question. Yes, the Thermostat PS11739602 you had chosen may be the issue and is compatible with your model. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you.

HELLO
This refrigerator freezer build ice on the bottom of drain pan inside the freezer I check the drain and it is fine also I did replace defrost timer and defrost thermostat and end up with same outcome.
right now Im not sure why it is happening
I would really appreciate your advise on this problem
For model number RT21AKXKQ03
Hi Christopher, thank you for the question. Since you have already replaced the defrost timer and the thermostat and that does not resolve the problem, we would recommend checking the defrost heater, part number PS11740357, to solve the issue. It melts frost from the evaporator fins during the automatic defrost cycle. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair!
