• Closes and opens with evaporator temperature to allow the defrost heater to run at the correct time
• Helps prevent excessive frost buildup on the evaporator
• A faulty unit can lead to long frost accumulation, reduced cooling, or inconsistent temperatures
• Works with the defrost heater and control to maintain proper defrost cycles

• Always unplug the appliance before attempting any repairs
• Access typically requires removing the evaporator cover; protect evaporator fins and wiring during replacement
• Verify electrical continuity of the old thermostat and replace with identical part number
