Magic Chef Defrost Thermostat
Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: WPW10225581

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.

This part fixes the following symptoms
  • Frost buildup
  • Freezer not defrosting
  • Freezer section too warm
  • Fridge too warm

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Fridge side wasn't staying cold massive ice build up in freezer ice blockage in fan duct   Christopher M. • Yorba Linda , CA • December 15, 2014

Condenser was encased in solid block of ice due to automatic defrost not working. Replaced thermostat and ADC control board. Working fine now. Most tedious part was using a heat gun to melt all the ice off the condenser coils. You will need a couple small wire nuts to splice the new thermostat into the existing harness (they are not included). Service tech wanted over $400 to repair, fixed it myself for half that. Thanks !

Magic Chef Defrost Thermostat (Bi-Metal)
Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: WP61005254

This defrost thermostat is the temperature limit switch for the evaporator. It lets the defrost heater run when coils are icy and opens as they warm to end the cycle, helping stop frost buildup and restore steady cooling.

  • Monitors evaporator temperature; closed when cold to allow the defrost heater to energize
  • Opens as the coil warms to terminate defrost and protect components from overheating
  • Failure may cause heavy frost on the back wall/evaporator and weak airflow or a warm refrigerator section
  • Can also lead to long run times or cooling that returns only briefly after a manual defrost
Includes: One defrost thermostat Install notes:
  • Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect power before servicing
  • Located behind the freezer's rear panel on the evaporator; remove shelves/ice bin and panel to access
  • Reinstall in the same position/clip for firm contact with the coil or tubing
  • Make secure, insulated wire connections and route wiring away from sharp edges and moving parts
Troubleshooting tip: At room temperature the thermostat should read open (no continuity); when chilled below freezing, it should read closed (continuity).

This part fixes the following symptoms
  • Freezer section too warm
  • Fridge too warm

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Ice build up in top freezer of refrigerator   Kevin S. • Mission Viejo , CA • May 13, 2015

After watching numerous videos I was able to discern that the problem was with one of the following: the timer, the heater, or the thermostat. a short time check showed me that the timer was working so that narrowed it down to the other two. Not having the necessary tools to check those two I ordered both parts. Once the parts came and I took out the old parts it was quite evident that it was the heater since it had black burn marks on it. I decided to install the thermostat also since it... Read more
