Thermostats
Thermostats and thermistors control the cooling in fridges, freezers, and fridge freezers. Older analogue thermostats use a phial to switch the compressor on and off, while newer electronic systems use NTC thermistors for precise temperature control. Faulty units can lead to poor cooling, over-freezing, or appliance stress.
Understanding Thermostats
Analogue Thermostats: Simple on/off devices with a temperature-sensing phial. When faulty, the appliance may stop cooling or over-freeze. Older models may also have live feeds for internal lighting.
Electronic Thermostats: Use NTC thermistors that change resistance with temperature. More accurate than analogue thermostats, but still prone to occasional failure. Incorrect readings can result in incorrect appliance temperatures.
Can't Find The Thermostat You Need?
Thermostats vary by model, production run, and type. Provide your appliance model or a photo of the old thermostat, and we’ll help you locate the correct replacement. Low-cost compatible options may also be available.

Whirlpool
Spare Parts.
Whirlpool, historically the world's largest appliance producer, has recently transitioned its European operations to Beko Europe. This legacy network means Whirlpool components are frequently found in Hotpoint, Indesit, and Ariston machines.
The Mandatory 12NC Code
Whirlpool appliances often exist in multiple technical versions. To guarantee 100% fitment, the 12NC Service Code (beginning with 85...) is vital. Without this 12-digit number, accurate identification of internal revisions is nearly impossible.
The Price Advantage
Whirlpool genuine parts can be expensive. However, because they manufacture for numerous brands, we often identify high-quality compatible or cross-branded alternatives that are technically identical but significantly cheaper.
Verified Suitability
Whirlpool systems frequently hide subtle technical changes behind identical visual shells. Our standing advice: don’t order by image alone. Ask our specialists to verify your 12NC code against the factory diagrams to ensure a perfect fit first time.
Confirm Your Whirlpool Spares
Struggling to find the right part in the Whirlpool maze? Our technical team can cross-reference your 12NC code across the entire Beko Europe network to find the exact component you need.
