The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils and activates the defrost heater when necessary. This process prevents frost buildup on the coils, ensuring the refrigerator maintains optimal cooling efficiency.
You should replace the defrost thermostat if it becomes faulty or damaged. Common causes of a bad defrost thermostat include electrical failures, regular wear and tear, or temperature fluctuations that can degrade the component over time.
Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:
This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
This aluminum strap secures the defrost heater firmly against the evaporator coil to maintain proper contact during defrost. Correct contact improves heat transfer so frost melts evenly and helps prevent recurring ice buildup on the evaporator.
A small metal clamp that secures the refrigerator's capillary (temperature sensing) tube to the cold control so the thermostat reads temperatures accurately. Replaces worn or missing clamps to keep the sensing tube stable and prevent movement-related issues. What it does:
This replacement tube routes water from the refrigerator's defrost area to the drain pan to help prevent leaks and pooling. A simple, direct-fit part for restoring proper drain flow and reducing water buildup. What it does
This motor kit drives the microwave's glass turntable to rotate food for even heating. Replacing a worn motor restores smooth, consistent turntable motion and helps prevent cold spots during cooking or reheating.
This screw is a direct replacement fastener used to secure appliance panels and components. It restores proper fit and prevents rattling or loose parts for a snug, reliable finish. What it does:
The insert nut provides a durable threaded anchor in thin metal or plastic panels. It lets mounting screws tighten securely so covers, brackets, or trim stay fastened and aligned without loosening from vibration.
This replacement screw secures appliance components so brackets, shelves, trim, or panels stay firmly in place. Install a new screw when the original is missing, stripped, or corroded to restore a tight, rattle-free fit.
This factory 8-18 screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and components. Replace missing or stripped hardware to restore a tight, rattle-free assembly and dependable operation.
