The Whirlpool WP4-35940-001 Refrigerator Thermostat is a component that regulates the internal temperature of your Whirlpool refrigerator. It functions by monitoring the temperature through a capillary tube connected to a refrigerant-filled bulb. As the temperature rises, the refrigerant expands, which applies pressure to a diaphragm inside the thermostat. This action activates an electrical switch that turns off the compressor, allowing the temperature to drop. When the desired temperature is achieved, the electrical switch reactivates the compressor to maintain the cool environment. This cycle helps to keep food fresh and reduces the risk of spoilage.
What does the Whirlpool WP4-35940-001 Thermostat do?
The Whirlpool Thermostat regulates the refrigerator’s internal temperature. It monitors temperature changes and controls compressor operation to keep the cooling environment within the desired range.
