FAQs

This kit is compatible with a wide range of refrigerators manufactured by Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Caloric, Maytag, and Magic Chef.
This kit includes components that replace the following OEM part numbers: Cold Control Thermostat 2198202 (also replaces 1110552, 1115242, 1115243, 1115244, 1115245, 1129437, 2161283, 2161284, 2169112, 2169113, 2198201, 99989726, WP2198202, WP2198202VP); Defrost Timer W10822278 (also replaces 482493, 2188371, 4210579, 1114283, 132183); and Bimetal Thermostat W10225581 (also replaces WPW10225581, 2149849, 2188824, 2321799, W10260437, 4387498).
You may need this kit if your refrigerator is experiencing temperature fluctuations, the freezer is not defrosting (resulting in frost buildup on the evaporator coils), the refrigerator is too warm, or the unit is failing to cycle properly between cooling and defrost modes.
The installation is straightforward and can typically be completed with basic hand tools, such as a multi-bit screwdriver. You will need to remove the internal shelving, light covers, and the rear evaporator panel to access the bimetal thermostat. Always ensure the refrigerator is unplugged before beginning any repairs.
The bimetal defrost thermostat clips onto the evaporator tubing. Its role is to monitor the temperature of the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle. It acts as a safety device by opening the circuit to the defrost heater once the coils reach a specific temperature, preventing the evaporator from overheating.
Before installing the new W10822278 timer, ensure your refrigerator is disconnected from the power supply. When installing, verify that the wires are securely reconnected and that the timer is properly aligned in its housing to ensure the internal gears can cycle without obstruction.
