Need Replacement Thermostat
I have an Emerson CR281P mini fridge.The thermostat stopped working. I can short across the two terminals and the fridge powers on and cools nicely. After a few days, naturally the fridge completely frosts over because it is running continuously, so I decided I need a thermostat. The one I removed looks like the WPF34X, but all of the markings on the label are illegible. I might be able to find one in someone's old stock warehouse if I simply knew the precise part number. The capillary tube mounts to the bottom of the freezer so I have to assume it is a Freezer/Fridge thermostat but hate to start experimenting. This is obviously an inexpensive "Dorm" fridge but it I can fix it for a few bucks I would like to rather than throw it into a land fill and buy another.

Even without the part number,
- Try http://www.searspartsdirect.com/ [call if necessary] or https://encompass.com/ or https://www.diyspareparts.com/.
- Try another online parts source like http://www.ereplacementparts.com/ or https://www.partstore.com/
- Contact local parts dealers and used appliance dealers, who might be able to supply or maybe fix the part
- Use a search engine like Google's or Bing
- Try http://www.searchtempest.com/, which displays global listings from eBay, Craigslist, and other sources*
- Take the part you have to an appliance technician, who might possibly be able to fix or replace the part
*(For option 5, you may want to use a free tracking program like https://www.followthatpage.com/ to save you from having to repeat your search over time.)
