The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component plays a crucial role in the defrost system, monitoring and regulating the temperature to ensure proper defrosting of the evaporator coils.

Causes of a faulty defrost thermostat can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive temperature fluctuations or moisture, or electrical malfunctions.

Symptoms of needing to replace the defrost thermostat include:

• Improper defrosting or lack of defrosting
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator running constantly or cycling frequently

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore refrigerator models.

The Temperature Sensor (10K NTC) is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This sensor monitors the internal temperature of the refrigerator or freezer compartment, sending signals to the control board to regulate cooling cycles. It ensures the appliance maintains the correct temperature for optimal food preservation.

Temperature sensors can fail due to wear over time, electrical issues, or exposure to moisture. A malfunctioning sensor can cause inaccurate temperature readings, leading to improper cooling or freezing.

Symptoms of a bad temperature sensor include:

• Fluctuating or incorrect temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer
• Food spoiling faster than expected or freezing inappropriately
• Error codes related to temperature regulation
• The refrigerator running continuously or cycling too often

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component monitors the temperature of the evaporator coil and triggers the defrost cycle when necessary. By ensuring that the evaporator coil is kept free of ice buildup, the defrost thermostat helps maintain efficient cooling performance and prevents frost accumulation inside the refrigerator.

Over time, the defrost thermostat can fail due to electrical issues, wear and tear, or temperature fluctuations. A malfunctioning thermostat can lead to excessive frost buildup, reduced cooling efficiency, and potential damage to the refrigerator's components.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The defrost cycle not activating
• The refrigerator running continuously without cycling off

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators and freezers. This part senses the temperature of the evaporator coil and triggers the defrost heater to melt away any accumulated frost. This process ensures that air can flow freely over the coils, keeping the refrigerator or freezer at the correct temperature and preventing overcooling or temperature fluctuations that can spoil food.

Causes of a bad defrost thermostat can include a failure to open or close properly, leading to an overaccumulation of frost on the evaporator coils, or physical damage that prevents it from sensing the correct temperature. 

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Thermostat include:

• Frost build-up in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator or freezer is too warm
• The compressor running longer than usual
• Fresh food compartment becoming too warm

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

The Thermistor is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It senses and monitors interior temperatures, which allows the compressor and evaporator fan to operate efficiently based on temperature conditions. Proper thermistor function maintains consistent cooling and humidity levels. At room temperature, it should measure 5k ohms of resistance when testing with a multimeter.

Causes of a bad thermistor can include failure over time due to constant exposure to changes in temperature. Physical damage to the thermistor head or wiring connectors can lead to breakdowns in communication.

Symptoms of a bad thermistor include:

• Fluctuating or unregulated interior temperatures
• The refrigerator or freezer running constantly
• Error codes or blinking lights denoting temperature control issues

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is responsible for monitoring freezer temperatures and initiating automatic defrost cycles when needed. Located inside the refrigerator's freezer compartment, the defrost thermostat plays a key role in the refrigerator's cooling and frost removal processes.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost or ice buildup inside the freezer  
• Inability to maintain proper freezer temperatures
• Freon leakage detected due to damaged components from prolonged frost buildup

Replacing the defrost thermostat with a genuine OEM part can help restore automatic defrost operation, prevent excess energy usage, maintain optimal temperatures, and avoid potential damage to contents from excessive frost accumulation. This Frigidaire replacement part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
 

This defrost thermostat controls power to the defrost heater by sensing the evaporator's temperature. Replacing a failed thermostat helps stop heavy frost build-up and supports consistent cooling and airflow in your refrigerator and freezer.

• Monitors evaporator coil temperature during the defrost cycle
• Opens to shut off the defrost heater at a safe temperature; closes again when cold to allow the next defrost
• Failure symptoms can include heavy frost/ice on the back wall or evaporator
• May lead to reduced airflow, poor cooling, or the fresh food section warming after several days

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access by removing the freezer's rear panel to reach the evaporator area; defrost any heavy ice to avoid damage
• Position the thermostat in the same spot on the evaporator tubing; ensure firm contact and route wiring as originally secured, away from sharp edges and the heater
• Reassemble panels, restore power, and observe for proper defrosting over the next cycles

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire upright freezers. It is a temperature-sensing device that monitors coil temperatures, triggering the automatic defrost cycle to safely melt frost buildup obstructing airflow. Located near refrigerator coils, the defrost thermostat optimizes energy-efficient defrosting.

Causes often relate to regular exposure to fluctuating interior freezer temperatures over extended periods. Impacts compromising calibration can also force early replacement.

Symptoms involve:

• Excessive ice accumulation hinders air circulation and cooling power
• The inability of the unit to maintain a frost-free interior environment
• Higher utility costs from the refrigerator constantly fight accumulation

This Frigidaire OEM replacement part fits upright models by Electrolux, Gibson, and some Kenmore models.

This mechanical temperature control thermostat replaces the factory temperature sensing switch to restore proper refrigerator temperature regulation. It helps the appliance maintain set temperatures for safe food storage and normal cooling performance. What it does:

• Senses cabinet temperature and opens/closes the cooling circuit to regulate compressor run time.

• Works with manual temperature-control knobs (mechanical sensing and switching)
• Typical failure symptoms: refrigerator too warm, too cold, or compressor that runs constantly or not at all

• Disconnect power before attempting any service to avoid shock or damage
• Access may require removing control panels or shelves; keep track of mounting screws and orientation
