You likely need a new defrost thermostat if your refrigerator is failing to cool properly, the freezer section is accumulating excessive frost or ice on the evaporator coils, or if the refrigerator is not entering the defrost cycle.
The installation is generally straightforward. The thermostat is a clip-on style designed for 5/16-inch tubing. You will need to access the evaporator coils, remove the old thermostat, and secure the new one in its place. Ensure the refrigerator is unplugged before beginning the repair.
This is a bi-metal defrost thermostat with a 60-degree limit. It features two wire leads with bare ends for connection.
