This ice maker thermostat (part number WP627985) is for refrigerators.
Ice maker thermostat WP627985 monitors the temperature in the freezer to determine when to release the ice into the bin and start a new ice-making cycle.
Safely store any food that could deteriorate while the power is off and unplug the refrigerator before installing this part. Wear work gloves to protect your hands.
The thermostat was easy to install but it does not come with a small tube of recommended sealant to apply between the contact surfaces of the thermostat face and ice tray. The thermostat is slightly spring loaded to make positive contact. I installed the new one without the sealant and my ice maker works fine.

I ordered this part based on the recommendation of Vernon. It was the wrong part. It did not solve my problem. The problem was with the water inlet, not the thermostat. Installing this part was extremely tricky, not what I had been led to expect. The one-page instructions included was virtually useless.
