WG03F07368 - Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Temperature Control Thermostat

WG03F07368 – Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Temperature Control Thermostat (Cold Control)

The WG03F07368 Genuine OEM GE Refrigerator Temperature Control Thermostat is a factory-original cold control thermostat designed for GE refrigerators. This part is a Genuine OEM component, engineered to precisely regulate internal refrigerator temperature by cycling the compressor on and off based on cabinet temperature readings.

This thermostat is used in GE (General Electric) refrigerators, including select models under GE’s extended brand family (GE, Hotpoint, Café, Monogram, Profile, Westinghouse, and others).

Available across Canada with fast nationwide shipping from Appliance Kingdom (Edmonton, AB), this thermostat is a trusted replacement for restoring proper cooling performance when your refrigerator is overcooling, undercooling, or failing to maintain stable temperatures.

If your fridge is struggling with inconsistent cooling or compressor cycling issues, replacing this thermostat often restores normal temperature regulation and reliable operation.

Function & Importance of the Part

The temperature control thermostat (cold control) is the brain of your refrigerator’s cooling cycle.

It works by:

• Sensing internal refrigerator temperature

• Turning the compressor ON when temperature rises too high

• Turning the compressor OFF when desired temperature is reached

In a GE refrigerator, this ensures food stays safely stored at consistent temperatures without freezing or spoiling.

Why OEM quality matters:

• OEM calibration ensures correct temperature cut-in and cut-out points

• Prevents overcooling or inconsistent cycling

• Protects compressor from excessive runtime or short cycling

• Ensures compatibility with GE electrical and mechanical design standards

When this thermostat fails, the refrigerator loses accurate temperature control, leading to unstable cooling performance.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Temperature Control Thermostat

A failing WG03F07368 thermostat in a GE refrigerator may cause:

• Refrigerator compartment too warm or too cold

• Freezer temperature instability (in some configurations)

• Compressor running continuously or not starting

• Refrigerator cycling on and off too frequently

• Food freezing in fresh food section

• Inconsistent internal temperature despite setting adjustments

• Frost or condensation issues due to incorrect cycling

Will replacing this part fix my problem?
If your issue is caused by a defective cold control thermostat, replacing the WG03F07368 typically restores proper compressor cycling and stabilizes internal refrigerator temperature.

However, if symptoms persist, related components like thermistors, main control board, or sealed system issues may also need inspection.

Compatibility Guidance (Safe Use Information)

This part is compatible with GE refrigerator temperature control systems (cold control applications).

Before ordering:

• Always verify your exact refrigerator model number

• Ensure your existing thermostat matches part number WG03F07368

• Confirm physical fit and electrical connector compatibility

Do not install based on appearance alone—GE refrigeration systems may use similar-looking parts with different calibration settings.
