Description

Electronic defrost control board that manages the refrigerator's timed defrost cycles to reduce evaporator frost buildup and help maintain steady cooling. Replacing a failed control restores normal automatic defrost operation. What it does:

• Regulates defrost cycle timing and duration to prevent excessive ice on the evaporator
• Stops regular cooling temporarily during defrost to melt accumulated frost
• Common symptom: excessive frost or ice buildup on evaporator coils or in the freezer compartment
• Other symptom: temperature fluctuations or the unit running continuously because defrost cycles aren't happening

What's included: One defrost control board Install notes:

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Access typically requires removing the refrigerator's control or back access panel — keep screws and small parts organized
• Match wire harness connectors and mounting holes; do not force connectors or bend pins
