   Fridge & Freezer Thermostats

The thermostat in a fridge or freezer is the component that controls when the compressor (motor) of the fridge, freezer of fridge freezer cuts in and out on older models. It does this by having a phial, which looks like a thick piece of wire attached to the wall of the fridge or freezer or the evaporator that detects the temperature in that one spot and, the compressor is cut in and out based on that temperature.

Older analogue thermostats were generally very simple devices that simply have an on and off switch in them and often a live feed for any internal lighting. They are very simple devices. Due to that, when they go faulty, you will usually find that the fridge, fridge freezer or freezer will either not cool at all as the thermostat is not switching on or, it will just over-freeze as the thermostat remains closed and keeps the compressor running all the time.

A far more in-depth article on a fridge, fridge freezer and freezer thermostats is available from this link

Newer electronic control systems use what is known as a thermistor, which is essentially a small resistor that has a resistance value that responds to changes in temperature. Normally these are NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) type thermistors that have a resistance value that drops as the temperature rises.

These newer systems are more accurate but still do suffer from the occasional failure and the resistance readings have to be correct or the set temperature for the appliance will not be correct.

You can find out more about fridge and freezer thermistors in this article on the main website.

Before embarking on repairing your own fridge freezer we would suggest that you read our basic fridge and freezer fault finding guide and, if your fridge freezer is a frost free model please also see our guide to understanding frost free refrigeration as well as the companion article which you can find from this link.

Component parts may vary in shape and size to the images shown as parts are model specific and subject to change or alteration at any time without notice. This spare part will only fit the models as described in the listing unless specifically advised otherwise by ourselves.

Also, note that most fridge and freezer thermostats and thermistors are very dependent on the model as well as often serial or product codes so please, take care when ordering and don't rely solely on images as they often look much the same or similar!

However Whirlpool have made many appliances for other brands so you can find sure parts here used in other makes and models as well as Whirlpool. Nicely, it also means that there are often ways that you can get spare parts cheaper as Whirlpool spare parts tend to be some of the most expensive around, certainly in relation to the purchase price of the appliances.

  Delivery

We are going to get any part/s your order to you as fast as we possibly can.

We use a variety of means to do that but we also give you, the customer, the choice of how fast you want the transit time to be as well as the features and convenience levels that suit you on delivery so, there are options. There is a lot of information here on how we do this and an explanation of the choice you have as well as the impact of each in speed and cost as we are very open and transparent.

Orders placed outwith our normal business hours will not be shipped until the next working day and are subject to stock availability.

Please be aware that we show availability and that we do not display live stock levels online.

What we do is give an average here based on where parts are and typically take to ship as well as an average of transit times based on how people order parts so these can vary depending largely on the shipping method that we allow you to select depending on your own individual needs.

The estimated normal time that an item will take to reach you (excluding weekends and public holidays) is indicated on every listing at the top of the listing in orange with the truck next to it, an explanation of these is as follows:

1 to ** Days: Normally a UK stock item and usually dispatched the same or next working day but some items may take a little longer depending on where the stock is.

3 to ** Days: Usually a UK/EU stocked item but may have a longer lead time, for clarification of the time please contact us before ordering and we will advise further if required.

* to ** Days: Variable lead times that are based on normal order supply times, often parts that do not have a “1 to“ at the start will ordinarily be factory or custom order items and we would ask that you please allow the time indicated for your order to arrive with you. Please note that these items are specially ordered upon request that is not normally stocked therefore cannot be ordinarily returned, this does not affect your statutory rights.

Again, please note that your chosen delivery method may affect the delivery time to both shorten and lengthen that delivery time and that these estimates apply to UK mainland orders only. The faster delivery method that you choose, the lower on that estimated delivery time you will likely receive the items ordered.

If you need clarification or a more accurate lead time please contact us for assistance on that and we will do our utmost to provide that as our estimated lead times are based on normal stock availability, average lead times, average shipping times and this can vary depending on shipping methods etc.

Our standard delivery charges are quoted online when you place an order on the checkout page and are determined by weight, size and method so can alter based on those parameters.

Large (oversized/overweight) items (panels, dishracks, cooktops, tubs, drums, etc.) may incur additional shipping fees, especially when off the mainland UK.

Our estimated delivery times do not apply to international or offshore orders, only to UK mainland addresses and delivery times to more rural areas may vary depending on the service used.

Delivery times can vary at times of very high volumes, such as Christmas period and also due to bad weather etc and at such times deliveries, regardless of service used, may not happen as normal.

Please do understand that manufacturers can change specifications, pricing and delivery times without notice and we do try to take account of this as best we can but we cannot absolutely guarantee these things when outside of our control.

  Order Transit Times

If the item you have ordered is in stock and the order is placed before 3.00 pm Monday to Friday then we will endeavour to dispatch the order on the same day. Subsequent delivery times are usually between 1-3 working days depending on the service you have chosen, the time your order is placed and stock availability.

If an item is required for a guaranteed next-day delivery please contact us in advance to check that this is possible

Please note that the times given can be subject to availability, however, more than 98% of all orders are delivered on or faster than the estimated times. And that especially busy times, adverse weather and so on that shipping can be slower than normal.

Economy courier Service

Delivery by HermesOrders placed before 3pm on working days will normally dispatch within 24 hours depending on stock availability by Evri (Hermes).

Most orders are expected to reach UK postcodes in 1-4 business days from dispatch using this service.

Premium Delivery

Delivery by premium DPD serviceYour order will receive priority handling and packing and be normally be delivered the next working day after dispatch using DPD, UPS or Royal Mail Special Delivery for smaller items where with DPD or UPS you also have the ability to change the delivery address with DPD (may cause delay), times and so on, services that are not available on other carrier options.

This option does get the items to you as fast as we can make that happen within the confines of where the stock is held etc.

Please note that on large or bulky items, this may be the only option available due to restrictions on other services on both sizes and weights.

Economy Services

Royal Mail deliver service

Most orders are expected to reach UK postcodes in 1-15 business days from dispatch depending on the service level selected.

* Royal Mail postal service - This is not a guaranteed next day service, Royal Mail aim to deliver 85% of 1st Class mail items the next working day after posting but this can take longer. Economy services are slower than this and can take several working days to arrive.

Whilst we have tried our best to cover the most common questions here, there are some product and location-specific exceptions that may also result in additional charges. If this is the case, then a member of our sales team will contact you to discuss the various options before the item is dispatched.

Should you have any delivery queries, please get in touch with a member of our team at spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk

Please do not arrange to have a tradesman on site until after your goods have arrived and you have checked them (We will not pay your tradesman's costs in the event that the item is damaged in transit or not suitable for any reason).

The products you order will be delivered by one of our contracted couriers: Royal Mail, Hermes or DPD/Interlink Express. When the item is dispatched you will receive an email with additional delivery information where available.
