Samsung Refrigerator REFBFDR Parts

This defrost relay controls power to the freezer defrost system, helping the appliance periodically melt frost buildup for consistent cooling. Use this relay to replace a failed or intermittent defrost power control. What it does:

• Routes 115V AC power to the defrost heater when the defrost cycle is initiated.
• Helps prevent excessive frost and ice buildup in the freezer evaporator.
• Resolves symptoms such as recurring ice accumulation, warm freezer compartments, or failed defrost cycles when the relay is faulty.
• Supports proper operation of timed or electronic defrost systems that rely on a relay to switch heater power.

• One defrost relay, 115V 60Hz.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electric shock.
• Verify the part number on the existing relay before installation; installation may require panel removal and basic hand tools.
• After installation, test defrost and cooling cycles to confirm proper operation.
