• Protects against overheating by cutting heater power when the coil warms
• Works with the control/timer to complete the defrost cycle
• Common symptoms: heavy frost on the freezer back panel/evaporator, warming temperatures after several days, or a defrost heater that won't energize

• Disconnect power; remove freezer shelves and the rear panel to access the evaporator
• The thermostat is typically clipped to the evaporator tubing—note placement/orientation before removal
• Make secure electrical connections and route wires away from sharp edges and the fan
• Reassemble, restore power, and operate the defrost system properly
