Operation Friogorifer Thermostat

how it is done and how the thermostat works

The operation of the thermostat depends on the correct functioning of the refrigerator, when in fact this tends to cool too much or too much of the guilty in most cases it is just the thermostat.

The thermostat is a mechanically and partially electrical device, an element inside it expands and contracts according to the internal temperature of the refrigerator internal cooling coil.

This allows a set of leverages fitted with calibration screws to open and close the electric circuit that circulates the refrigerator compressor and consequently cools the internal compartment of the refrigerator.
