Parts for Whirlpool WRT111SFAF00: 03 - Liner Parts

This mechanical defrost timer advances the refrigerator's defrost cycle so the evaporator periodically melts accumulated frost. It helps restore normal cooling cycles and prevents excessive frost buildup for more reliable refrigerator performance. What it does:

• Advances the appliance between cooling and defrost modes on a timed schedule
• Stops the compressor during defrost so accumulated ice on the evaporator can melt
• Commonly replaced when heavy frost builds on the evaporator or the fridge/freezer cycles abnormally
• Can address symptoms such as excessive frost, reduced cooling, or continuous compressor operation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access the timer through the back or control area per your model's service instructions
• Note wire locations or take a photo before disconnecting to ensure correct reassembly

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for monitoring the temperature of the evaporator coils. When the coils reach a certain temperature, the thermostat signals the defrost heater to turn on and melt any ice or frost buildup. This ensures proper airflow and prevents excessive ice formation.

Causes of a bad defrost thermostat can be attributed to normal wear and tear over time or electrical malfunctions.  

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive ice buildup in the freezer section.
• Inadequate cooling in the refrigerator compartment.
• Frost or ice accumulating on the evaporator coils.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
