WR01X39781 - GE Refrigerator Thermostat

The WR01X39781 (GE) is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part specifically designed for GE refrigerators. This part, sometimes referred to as a thermostat, is a critical component in maintaining the correct temperature within your fridge. It is compatible with various GE refrigerator models, ensuring your appliance operates within its optimal temperature range.

The role of the WR01X39781 is to regulate the temperature in your refrigerator's compartments. It achieves this by using a sensor bulb and capillary tube connected to the evaporator outlet to measure the cold air temperature. When the temperature rises above the set point, the thermostat activates the compressor and fans to increase cooling. Conversely, when the temperature falls, it deactivates these components, ensuring a consistent and accurate temperature range.

If your refrigerator is either too cold or too warm, or if the compressor is running continuously, these may be symptoms indicating that the WR01X39781 thermostat may need replacement.

Before purchasing the WR01X39781, it is crucial to verify this thermostat's compatibility with your GE refrigerator model number. This ensures that the part will function correctly and maintain the optimal temperature within your appliance.
