This Part Fixes These Problems

Fridge Too Warm

Refrigerator compartment temperature rises above safe levels even at the highest dial setting — fresh food spoils prematurely.

Fridge Too Cold / Freezing Food

Fresh food compartment drops below 32°F, freezing vegetables and beverages due to a thermostat stuck in the closed (always-on) position.

Compressor Runs Continuously

Refrigerator never cycles off, runs non-stop and causes excessive energy consumption — thermostat fails to send the cut-off signal to the compressor.

Inconsistent Temperature

Internal temperatures fluctuate widely between checks, indicating the thermostat is intermittently failing to sense or regulate temperature accurately.

💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Fridge Thermostat Bad?

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Refrigerator compartment is too warm (above 45°F) even on highest setting

⚠️ Fridge freezes food solid despite being set to a normal temperature

⚠️ Compressor runs continuously without shutting off

⚠️ Unusual temperature fluctuations — food spoils faster than normal

Quick test: Set the thermostat dial to the midpoint (position 5). After 2 hours, the fresh food section should read 35–38°F. If it reads above 45°F or below 32°F, the thermostat WR09X20002 is almost certainly defective. Note: wire polarity does not matter — the two terminals are interchangeable on this switch-type thermostat.

Questions & Answers

Will this WR09X20002 thermostat fit my GE model GTH18EBC2RWW?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes — GTH18EBC2RWW is a confirmed compatible model. The WR09X20002 is the correct temperature control thermostat for that unit. Before installing, set it to position 5; after 2 hours the fresh food section should read 35–38°F.
Does it matter which wire goes on which terminal?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
No — the WR09X20002 thermostat functions as a simple on/off switch. Either wire can connect to either terminal without affecting operation. Wire color (yellow, black, gray, or brown) does not determine polarity on this part.
My refrigerator runs all the time but stays cold — is this the right part to replace?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
Very likely yes. A thermostat stuck in the closed (always-calling) position will cause the compressor to run non-stop. If adjusting the dial from setting 1 to 7 makes no difference to the run cycle, the WR09X20002 cold control is almost certainly defective and should be replaced.
What are the electrical specifications of this thermostat?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
The WR09X20002 is rated for 120/240V and carries FLA8 and LRA40 current ratings. It includes a 15-inch capillary sensing tube. These specs match the original GE OEM part exactly.
Is this compatible with Hotpoint and Kenmore refrigerators as well as GE?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
Yes. The WR09X20002 temperature control thermostat is compatible with GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Americana, Kenmore, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerator models. Always confirm your full model number before ordering to ensure the correct fit.

We typically respond within 1 business day. Include your appliance model number for the fastest answer.
