241537103 - Electrolux Refrigerator Thermostat

This Electrolux Refrigerator Thermostat (241537103) is a genuine part designed for Electrolux home appliances and is compatible with various brands including Frigidaire, Tappan, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, Uni, and Crosley refrigerators. It plays a critical role in maintaining the precise temperatures in both the fresh food and freezer compartments of your refrigerator. Utilizing advanced thermostatic switches, this part includes a thermostat sensor bulb and capillary tube connected to the evaporator outlet, measuring the cold air temperature. It actively controls the compressor, condenser fan, evaporator fan, and other components, ensuring an optimal environment for your perishables.

When the air temperature inside the refrigerator rises above a certain set point, the thermostat springs into action, activating the compressor and fans to enhance cooling. Similarly, it deactivates these components as the temperature falls to the desired level, thus conserving energy. An integral part of the refrigeration system, a separate defrost thermostat, is strategically positioned near the evaporator to prevent the coils from overheating during defrost cycles. Such precise regulation of temperature not only preserves your food in perfect condition but also extends the life of your appliance.

Noticing inconsistent temperatures, excessive cycling of the compressor, or unexplained thawing in the freezer compartment may indicate the need for a replacement. Before purchasing, it is vital to check your device's model number against the part number 241537103 to ensure compatibility.
