Description

This defrost termination thermostat senses evaporator temperature and stops the defrost heater when the evaporator has warmed enough, helping prevent over-defrost and protecting the refrigerator's cooling components. What it does:

• Senses evaporator temperature to end the defrost cycle when appropriate
• Helps prevent excessive heater run time and possible damage from over-defrost
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as iced-over evaporator coils, frequent or continuous defrost cycles, or warm refrigerator temperatures
• Works as the temperature-sensing switch used in the freezer defrost system

What's included: One defrost termination thermostat. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the sensing probe and lead wires carefully; avoid kinking or crushing the probe
• Test continuity only with power disconnected; replace with the exact part number for proper fit and function
