Defrost Thermostat, Sensor

Fixes refrigerator not cooling or excess frost buildup. This defrost thermostat regulates the defrost cycle. DIY-friendly repair, takes about 20 minutes.

Fix frost buildup and warm temperatures caused by a faulty defrost thermostat. This sensor controls the defrost cycle. Simple 20-minute repair.

Refrigerator not cooling properly or showing temperature errors? This temperature sensor monitors compartment temps and sends readings to the control board.

This thermistor is a temperature sensor that monitors conditions in your refrigerator and sends signals to the control board to regulate cooling cycles. It ensures your refrigerator maintains the correct temperature for food safety and energy efficiency. Replace this sensor if your refrigerator is running too warm or cold, cycling on and off frequently, or displaying temperature error codes.

Fix frost buildup and warm fridge temps. This defrost thermostat monitors evaporator temperature to prevent overheating during defrost cycles.

Fix a warm fridge or melting freezer ice cream. This defrost thermostat monitors evaporator temperature to prevent frost buildup and restore proper cooling.

Freezer won't maintain temperature or cycles incorrectly? This thermistor sensor monitors temperature and signals the control board. DIY-friendly repair.

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool or has frost buildup with this defrost thermostat. Opens the defrost cycle at the right temperature. DIY repair.

Fridge not defrosting or has excessive frost buildup? This defrost thermostat monitors evaporator temperature to control the defrost cycle. 15-minute fix.

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool or has frost buildup with this defrost thermostat. Located on the evaporator coils in the freezer compartment.

This thermodisc temperature switch senses refrigerator evaporator temperature and helps control defrost and cooling cycles to prevent overcooling or prolonged defrost runs. It's a compact replacement part for temperature regulation systems. What it does:

• Opens or closes an electrical circuit based on temperature to signal defrost or compressor control
• Helps stop defrost heater when the evaporator reaches target temperature
• Can prevent extended cooling cycles when the sensed temperature indicates the system has reached desired cold
• Restores normal cycling when a failed thermostat causes continuous run or no cooling

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Confirm location and orientation with the appliance wiring diagram before removal
• Handle the sensor element carefully; avoid bending or damaging the capillary/sensing tip
• After installation, observe normal defrost and cooling cycles

Refrigerator not cooling properly or freezing food? A faulty temperature sensor causes inconsistent temps. Simple DIY fix restores accurate cooling.

Frost buildup in your freezer? This defrost thermostat monitors evaporator temperature and controls the defrost heater to prevent ice accumulation.

Fixes ice buildup on evaporator coils and inconsistent cooling. This defrost thermostat monitors coil temperature to control the defrost cycle.

Ice buildup in your refrigerator? A faulty defrost thermostat prevents proper defrosting. This bi-metal sensor restores cooling performance quickly.

Fix frost buildup and poor cooling in your refrigerator. This defrost thermostat prevents ice accumulation on the evaporator. Moderate DIY repair.
