John for Model Number whirlpool-gr9shkxkq00 Wondering if the range on my Defrost Thermostat is adequate for this freezer. It is marked L62-14F. It seems kind of high for limits and closing (48F). I'm pure amateur but from reading on thermostats, it seems the range is just outside the upper range of acceptable. I've replaced the thermostat in our freezer and tested with multimeter. It definitely works. However, the freezer coils still freeze over. Assumming at this point it is the actual heater and have one on the way and should be here tomorrow! Just curious though, is the temperature range on this thermostat acceptable?
Answer Hello John, the defrost thermostat temp range is matched to the ref model design, the defrost heater can checked and is rated to be between 31-42 ohms, the defrost timer controls defrost cycle timing based on compressor run time.
