Defuser in refrig. would not open
I ordered a Thermostat but didnot need it, here's why. I removed the old thermostat that is under a white plastic cover at the top of the refrig.inside.By the way ,the cover just snaps off very carefully.after ordering a new Defuser and it still would not work I ordered a thermostat hopeing that would open the Defuser to let cool air in the refrig. Long story short there are two very small holes in the thermostat that hold two very tiny screws, spring activated and one screw while I was looking at the thermostat just fell out in my hand.I put the screw back in the hole and pushed down on the screw with a straight eye glass screwdriver and tighten it. Everything works fine now [just a loose screw].

I have a new thermostat part # wp2161460, which I'm told is a replacement thermostat for my kitchen aid side by side fridge. Question, the wiring on this thermostat has different locations then the original on my fridge now. Can you tell me or show my via a diagram which color wires go where on this wp2161460 thermostat please? I see 4 actual blade locations on this newer thermostat.
For model number KSRG25FKSS02

Hello Howard, Thank you for contacting us. I have researched the model you have provided and have found the part you’re looking for is W11088945 not the wp2161460. Very sorry but we do not have instructions for the wiring to make the wp2161460 work. I suggest ordering the part listed for the model number, W11088945. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!

Hi Rodney, thank you for your question. You will be testing for continuity. So take your multi meter probes and press them to the appropriate prongs. Once you do that if the multi meter does not change at all or move, then the part is bad and needs to be replaced. Good luck with your repair.
