This defrost timer controls when your refrigerator or freezer enters and exits the automatic defrost cycle to clear frost from the evaporator coils. Replacing a failed timer restores reliable defrosting to help maintain airflow, cooling performance, and stable temperatures.

• Advances on a timed schedule to initiate and end the defrost cycle
• Sends power to the defrost heater during defrost, then returns the system to cooling
• Helps prevent heavy frost buildup that restricts airflow and cooling
• Common symptoms of a bad timer: unit not defrosting or warming over time, heavy ice on the evaporator/cover, stuck running or stuck in defrost, or a timer that won't advance

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the timer (commonly in the control housing or machine compartment)
• Note/photograph wire positions and move leads one at a time to the new timer; mount securely
• Restore power and monitor for proper cycling; some models allow using the timer's advance slot to start a test defrost

Size: 8 x 1/2 ab.

This defrost thermostat is a bi-metal switch that senses evaporator temperature during defrost and opens to stop heater power once the coil warms. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper defrost, reducing ice buildup and airflow-related cooling problems.

• Monitors evaporator coil temperature during defrost
• Opens the heater circuit at a set temperature; recloses when cold for the next defrost
• Helps protect against overheating and ensures consistent defrost operation
• Common symptoms: heavy frost on the evaporator, weak airflow/warm fresh food section, repeated ice buildup after manual defrost

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the thermostat at the evaporator behind the freezer's rear panel
• Move wires one-for-one from the old part; mount in firm contact with the coil/tubing and secure leads away from the fan
• After installation, the thermostat should show continuity when cold and open circuit when warm

This defrost bi-metal thermostat monitors evaporator temperature and acts as a safety cutoff for the defrost heater. Replacing a failed thermostat helps prevent frost buildup and restores consistent cooling and defrost performance. What it does:

• Senses evaporator coil temperature and closes when cold to allow defrost heat
• Opens at a safe temperature to terminate the defrost cycle
• Protects the evaporator from overheating during defrost
• Common failure symptoms: heavy frost on the evaporator/back freezer panel, poor airflow, warm refrigerator section, long run times, or the defrost heater not energizing

• 1 defrost bi-metal thermostat

• Note wire connections and clip location; attach the new thermostat in the same spot, firmly clipped to the evaporator tubing
• Route wiring away from sharp edges and the heater, then restore power and observe operation

This heater melts frost off the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle so cold air can circulate properly. Replacing a failed heater helps restore cooling performance and prevents heavy ice buildup.

• Warms the evaporator area during defrost to clear accumulated frost and ice
• Helps maintain steady airflow and temperature inside the unit
• Common failure signs: excessive frost or ice on coils, poor cooling, warm fresh-food section, frequent or prolonged defrost cycles
• Typically paired with a defrost thermostat for safety

• Disconnect power before servicing; components can be hot after a defrost cycle
• Access is usually behind the evaporator cover; handle fragile glass/element sections with care
• Verify wire connections and routing match the original before reassembly
• After installation, monitor for normal cooling and absence of rapid frost buildup
