Mini Fridge Thermostat, Universal WPF-20 Freezer Thermostat Controller 2pin / Compatible with wpf16 and wpf18【Can Provide Installation Tutorial】

When my small refrigerator stopped cooling after 22 years of service, I had few hopes for bringing it back to life. I determined that it needed a thermostat, but the OEM version was priced at around $75, but I was unable to find one anywhere.This $9 replacement thermostat did the trick. It arrived in about 3 days, much faster than predicted. The refrigerator is now working like new and hopefully is ready for another 22 years.Some modifications were necessary to make this thermostat work. Happily, the original knob and attaching screw were perfect fits, so the new part mounted easily. However, it doesn't come with the rubber sleeve that goes over the capillary tube, so you'll have to salvage this from your old thermostat. The capillary tube on the new one was a bit longer than the old one, so I used some heat shrink tubing and tape to make up the difference in length of the sleeve. The spade connectors on my refrigerator were too small for the larger terminals on the new thermostat, so I had to cut them off and crimp on new ones. For the record, the new thermostat's connectors are a more common size, so there is a good chance that you won't have to make this change.None of these changes were very difficult, but be sure to allow some extra time when installing in case you have to adapt this thermostat to your refrigerator.Overall, I couldn't be happier. I really didn't want to have to get rid of my refrigerator and buy a new one. For less than $10 I was able to resurrect it, saving landfill space and money.

Haven't replaced a min-fridge thermal before. Glad I did, fridge cools great now, but the dial was off from what I had, so beginning and ends points just located at different spots now.

Part fixed my refrigerator immediately. I had to do no modification, it was a direct fit. I recommend this product & the shipping was fast!!👍🏾

Works well, easy install. Stock Kenmore knob doesn't fit well on thermostat (can't push it all the way in), maybe they should ship a knob? Knob indicator also seems off by about 270 degrees. The important things are it works, solved my problem and is a great price. Would buy again!

Works great

Pros: I am very happy with the product. You cannot beat the price. The equivalent OEM part is at least $50+. The t-stat is nice compact. The installation should be easy with just two screws if it is a direct replacement. I replaced a different model so it took me a bit of modification. The stat turns on and of approximately every 12 minutes so short cycling is not an issue. It maintains the temperature within 2-3 degrees.Cons: For this price I don't think it is fair to say anything negative. Nonetheless, with the intent to help just a few suggestions. There is no paperwork, diagram, installation manual whatsoever. It would be great if it would come with the two screws for installation and perhaps a cheap knob. The sensing probe is could be longer to make it universal. The excess length can be looped up.It is a great product. I would buy it again.

worked perfectly on GE refrigerator. Solved temperature swing issues.

Reading the comments implies these China made units can be hit-or-miss and I got a "miss" it appears. I'm pretty handy and I was very careful but I can't rule out an installation issue of course. The unit's operation was very erratic to the point of being unusable.So... I ordered and installed another China made unit from a different company for a few bucks more and this one is working perfectly... so far. Even the calibration is spot on. The two units, the bad one and good one, appear identical and are most likely from the same source. Go figure.My primary goal was to get this old garage refrigerator running asap and these thermostats were next day delivery. Installation is pretty simple so the time lost was not a big deal.
