WP2196003 Whirlpool Thermostat Tube Shield for Refrigerators

Thermostat Tube Shield for Refrigerators.

Whirlpool manufactures a range of products under various brand names including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool supplies products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Thermostat Tube Shield serves as an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part specifically designed for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component is crucial for safeguarding the thermostat tube that monitors and regulates the internal temperatures, ensuring the refrigerator operates efficiently.

Damage to the shield can occur due to regular wear from the compressor's vibrations or from mishandling during maintenance.

Common indicators of a malfunctioning thermostat tube shield are:

- Inability to adequately protect and insulate the thermostat tube
- Higher susceptibility to damage of the thermostat's sensitive components
- Erroneous temperature readings that could disrupt cooling cycles
- Unstable refrigerator temperatures that deviate from the desired settings

This replacement part is authentic and directly from Whirlpool, and it is also suitable for use with select Maytag, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore refrigerator models.
