Review on 2198202 Refrigerator Cold Control Thermostat Replacement By BlueStars - Exact Fit For Whirlpool & Kenmore Refrigerators - Replaces 2161284 2198201 PS11739232 AP6006166 WP2198202 by Blake Giordano

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The thermostat has a Set Screw to make initial rough temperature adjustment

Like many others, my fridge ran extremely cold after installing the thermostat. I had to set the control knob almost to the off position to get the correct temperature. I found out that all thermostats have a course adjustment Set Screw (See the hole in the first 1st photo. I adjusted the set screw a little over a half turn clockwise (warmer for the set screw). Now the temperature control knob is positioned near at the center (asterisk) mark.Unfortunately, the bracket the holds the control knob broke off when removing the knob to make the set screw adjustments (see the 2nd and 3rd photos). Luckily, I was able to align the knob to make temperature adjustments.The thermostat is working fine so I'm giving 3 star rating.
