Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You This was for a friend of mine his refrigerator stopped cooling   Gary G. • Ofallon , MO • July 12, 2015

This was a 2000 model so rather than just replace the defrost timer which was visibly burnt on the terminals, we just did everything. The cold control, defrost timer, thermostat, defrost heater and the compressor capacitor were all replaced. I had the same issue on my older unit and tore it apart replacing one item at a time over a three month period so on an older one i suggest do it all while it is apart. Read more

Kelvinator Defrost Thermostat
Genuine Frigidaire part
By: Frigidaire
Part Number: 216731001

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.

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You No cooling from refrigerator lights worked but compressor did not run   Jeff B. • Ovalo , TX • May 07, 2015

Checked compressor windings - ok. Start relay looked no rattle or burning. Start capacitor seamed ok but hard to check. No 120VC to start relay at any time. Ordered thermistor, and electronic control unit. Figuring it was a bad thermistor not telling the ECU it was warm and to turn on the compressor. Or the ECU was damaged and was not sending the 120v to the compressor. Changed the thermistor first (cheapest part and as Appliance parts pros has a return policy I wanted to start there). ...
