General Electric WR29X5168 Ice Maker Mold Thermostat

Product Description

The GENERAL ELECTRIC WR29X5168 is an OEM ice maker mold thermostat designed to monitor and regulate temperature within the ice maker mold assembly of GE refrigerators. The thermostat signals the ice maker control when the mold has reached the correct temperature for harvest, allowing the ejector to release the ice. This is a direct OEM replacement part, manufactured to original equipment specifications. Licensed appliance technicians and experienced service professionals install this component as part of routine ice maker repair and maintenance when the unit stops cycling or fails to harvest ice properly.

This thermostat is used in residential GE refrigerators equipped with a standard ice maker mold assembly. It is typically replaced when the ice maker stops producing ice, produces irregular or malformed cubes, or fails to complete the harvest cycle. The part is suited for service calls where diagnostic testing has confirmed a failed or out-of-range mold thermostat as the root cause of the ice maker malfunction.
