    The document discusses a problem with a refrigerator freezing food due to a potential issue with the temperature control thermostat. It explains that the thermostat maintains the desired temperature setting by controlling electricity to the compressor. When the temperature increases inside the fridge, the thermostat activates the compressor. It also notes that most commercial refrigerators use a thermostat with a gas-filled capillary tube and diaphragm to operate the compressor contacts based on temperature changes.

    Problem: Refrigerator is freezing food

    Criteria: Electric temperature control

    Definition: Refrigerator is for freezing food, it is most likely a problem with the temperature
    control thermostat. A refrigerator thermostat/cold control is basically the brains of the
    refrigerator cooling system. Thermostats are typically found inside the refrigerator and have a
    knob that allows users to adjust the temperature setting. Once a user sets the desired
    temperature, the thermostat maintains that temperature by controlling the flow of electricity
    to the compressor. If the thermostat is the brain, the compressor is the heart of the operation,
    responsible for pumping the refrigerant through the coils.

    This thermostat controls the voltage to the compressor and evaporator fan motor. In most
    commercial refrigerators, the thermostat has a capillary tube filled with gas. As the
    temperature in the fridge increases, the gas expands and pushes on a diaphragm, which
    operates a set of contacts which in turn operates the compressor.
