Description

A defrost thermostat that senses evaporator temperature to properly stop the defrost heater when the temperature rises. Replaces a failed defrost thermostat to help prevent over-heating of the heater and ensure proper defrost cycles. What it does:

• Opens/closes at approximately 160°F / 95°F to terminate defrost cycles
• Stops the defrost heater once the evaporator has warmed, preventing damage
• Helps restore proper cooling when a failed thermostat causes extended or no defrost
• Compatible with common refrigerator defrost systems that use a temperature-sensing thermostat

What's included: One defrost thermostat (single unit) Install notes:

• Turn off power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Typically mounts near the evaporator; handle the sensor bulb and capillary tube carefully
• Confirm fit and orientation against the original part before final assembly
