• Senses temperature in the defrost/heater area and opens the circuit to stop heating if temperatures get too high
• Prevents overheating of defrost heater or related components
• Can cause defrost failure symptoms when faulty, such as excessive frost buildup or poor cooling
• May also contribute to long run-times or irregular defrost cycles when not operating correctly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Handle the part and wiring gently; ensure correct orientation and secure connections per service manual
• Use the exact replacement part number for compatibility
