Whirlpool Defrost Thermostat, Sensor

This defrost thermostat with attached wiring harness monitors the evaporator coil temperature and signals the defrost heater to turn on or off during the defrost cycle. It is typically mounted on or near the evaporator coils inside the freezer compartment. Replace this part if the refrigerator is not cooling properly, frost is building up excessively on the evaporator coils, or the defrost cycle is not functioning correctly.

This thermistor is a temperature sensor that monitors conditions in your refrigerator and sends signals to the control board to regulate cooling cycles. It ensures your refrigerator maintains the correct temperature for food safety and energy efficiency. Replace this sensor if your refrigerator is running too warm or cold, cycling on and off frequently, or displaying temperature error codes.

Fix a refrigerator that won't cool or has frost buildup with this defrost thermostat. Located on the evaporator coils in the freezer compartment.

Ice buildup in your refrigerator? A faulty defrost thermostat prevents proper defrosting. This bi-metal sensor restores cooling performance quickly.

Fix frost buildup in your freezer with this defrost thermostat. Controls defrost cycles by sensing evaporator temperature. Simple DIY repair in 30 minutes.

Refrigerator not cooling or frosting up? This defrost thermostat controls when the defrost heater turns off, preventing ice buildup on evaporator coils.

Fix refrigerator frost buildup or warm temperatures with this defrost thermostat sensor. Moderately easy repair for most home DIYers with basic tools.

This thermistor is a temperature-sensing component that monitors conditions inside the refrigerator or freezer compartment. It sends temperature readings to the main control board, which uses that data to regulate the compressor and defrost cycles. Replace this part if your refrigerator is running too warm, too cold, or cycling erratically despite correct thermostat settings.

This is a thermostat that monitors the temperature in the ice maker to signal when ice has fully frozen and is ready to be harvested. It acts as a thermal cutoff device to regulate the ice-making cycle. Replace this thermostat if the ice maker stops producing ice, runs continuously without cycling, or fails to eject ice at the proper time.

Fridge not cooling but freezer works? This defrost thermostat monitors evaporator temperature to prevent frost buildup. Tests closed when cold with multimeter.

Fixes refrigerator not cooling or freezer icing up issues. This defrost thermostat regulates defrost cycles to prevent frost buildup. Basic repair.

This thermistor is a temperature sensor that mounts on or near the evaporator coils and monitors the evaporator temperature. It sends readings to the control board so the defrost cycle and compressor operation are properly regulated. Replace this part if your refrigerator is running too warm, too cold, experiencing excessive frost buildup on the evaporator, or cycling irregularly.

Fix a refrigerator that's not cooling properly or has frost buildup with this defrost thermostat. Controls defrost cycles to prevent ice accumulation.
