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

Not an exact replacement-impossible to mount.

This part was listed as a replacement for my model of Whirlpool refrigerator. It is not. The original part number 1123212 mounts by the left mounting slipping into a slot on the left side.The right side is stepped and has a clamp like a speed nut.The replacement part 2198202 works electrically but is impossible to mount because the left arm of the bracket is 1 inch too short and the right arm is both too short and is not stepped nor does it have the clamp.The part can be adapted by cutting off the arms of the old thermostat and drilling and screwing them to the replacement with very short-3/8- sheet metal screws.A LOT OF UNNECESSARY WORK!

Pros
  • This product is a high-quality replacement option that can effectively regulate the temperature in the fridge and keep food fresh for longer
Cons
  • The product may not be reliable, causing frequent breakdowns
