Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
This defrost thermostat is engineered to safeguard the evaporator system during the refrigerator’s defrost cycle by monitoring temperature levels and interrupting power when the coils become too warm. Acting as a protective cutoff device, it ensures the evaporator does not overheat, helping maintain consistent cooling performance and preventing damage to internal components. The thermostat features an integrated mounting clip for secure attachment, allowing it to remain firmly positioned for accurate temperature sensing. When the original thermostat fails, the refrigerator may experience symptoms such as excessive frost buildup, inconsistent temperatures, or water pooling beneath the unit. Installing a new defrost thermostat restores proper regulation of the defrost cycle, supports reliable cooling, and helps extend the overall life of the appliance.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money
Why buy the real thing?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Simply put, this means that the company who made your appliance is also supplying the replacement part for it.

My refrigerator stops, and when I change the temperature setting it will start up again, but not for long. what could be the problem?
For model number WRT134TFDW00
Hi Jim,
Thank you for your question. If the refrigerator has stopped working, there are some parts that you will have to check see which one has caused the issue. The part that fixes this issue the majority of the time is the run capacitor. The run capacitor is the part that turns the compressor on and off to allow the refrigerator to maintain a constant temperature while keeping food in the freezer frozen. If the refrigerator is not getting cold this part may need to be replaced. To verify if this is the part that is causing the issue, you will need to test it with a multimeter. From our website, begin by ensuring you have unplugged your refrigerator, and then remove the rear panel. Locate and remove your overload or relay-start capacitor. On modern refrigerators the overload relay is usually a combined part and plugs directly onto the side of the compressor. There may also be a start capacitor attached to the relay overload assembly, which provides increased starting voltage to the compressor windings. To test, begin by discharging the capacitor, then set your multimeter to the Rx1 setting and place the probes onto the terminals of the overload capacitor and/or the relay-start capacitor. The reading you should receive will vary from model to model and may be indicated on the outside of the capacitor, or in your owner’s manual. If your test does not produce the reading the manufacturer recommends, you need a replacement overload or relay-start capacitor. If your tests do produce the recommended readings, you may have a defective compressor, which will need to be tested by a qualified professional as it is a live circuit test. We hope this helps!
