Frigidaire Refrigerator MRT15CSEDD Fridge runs too long

The Defrost Timer is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is an essential electronic component that controls the automated defrost cycle of the refrigerator. The defrost timer monitors run times and temperatures to determine when to initiate the defrost process. It allows the refrigerator to operate efficiently by preventing excessive ice buildup. This defrost timer is designed to run for 30 minutes every 8 hours. 

Symptoms of a bad defrost timer include: 

• Inability to initiate or maintain the defrost cycle 
• Excessive ice buildup in the freezer compartment
• Erratic temperature fluctuations
• The refrigerator running excessively or displaying other performance issues

Causes of a bad defrost timer can be normal wear and tear over time. Environmental factors like power surges or fluctuations may also impact the electronic timer functionality. 

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component plays a crucial role in the defrost system, monitoring and regulating the temperature to ensure proper defrosting of the evaporator coils.

Causes of a faulty defrost thermostat can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive temperature fluctuations or moisture, or electrical malfunctions.

Symptoms of needing to replace the defrost thermostat include:

• Improper defrosting or lack of defrosting
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator running constantly or cycling frequently

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore refrigerator models.

The Cold Control is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component regulates the temperature inside the refrigerator by controlling the operation of the compressor and the flow of refrigerant. It ensures that the interior remains at the desired temperature to keep food fresh. This temperature control thermostat features a 16" capillary tube. 

Over time, the cold control can become faulty due to regular wear and tear, electrical issues, or exposure to moisture. A malfunctioning cold control can result in temperature fluctuations and ineffective cooling.

Symptoms of a bad cold control include:

• The refrigerator not maintaining the correct temperature
• The compressor running continuously or not at all
• Frost buildup in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator being too warm or too cold

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some Kenmore models.
