Frigidaire Defrost Thermostat, Sensor

Fixes ice buildup and inconsistent cooling caused by defrost cycle failure. This thermostat senses evaporator temperature to control defrost timing.

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.
• Commonly used when the refrigerator runs constantly or cycles too quickly.
• Works as the user-adjustable temperature control for manual-style refrigerator controls.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Handle the sensing bulb/capillary tube gently; avoid kinks or sharp bends.
• Verify correct placement of the sensing bulb in the evaporator/probe clip per OEM location.

Fix inaccurate cooling or temperature fluctuations in your refrigerator's fresh food section. This sensor monitors compartment temperature for the control board.

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool or frosts excessively with this defrost thermostat. Senses temperature to control the defrost cycle properly.

The Wire Harness is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It connects various electrical components within the refrigerator, ensuring proper communication and voltage.

A bad wire harness can be caused by wear and tear, damage, or electrical issues. When the harness becomes faulty, it can result in issues such as intermittent or complete loss of power, malfunctioning controls, or improper functioning of the refrigerator's features.

Symptoms of a bad wire harness include:

• Loss of power to the refrigerator or specific components
• Inconsistent or erratic operation of controls or displays
• Malfunctioning lights, fans, or other electrical features

Replace your faulty wire harness with this genuine OEM part to restore your refrigerator. This Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
