Description
This bi-metal defrost thermostat monitors the evaporator temperature and signals the defrost heater to turn on or off during the defrost cycle. It acts as a safety device to prevent the evaporator from overheating. Replace this part if your refrigerator is building up excessive frost on the back wall, not cooling properly, or running constantly due to a failed defrost cycle.
