5303918214 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat Kit - Pack of 2
Key Features
- Bimetal defrost thermostat designed to monitor the temperature of the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle.
- Automatic shut-off mechanism that de-terminates power to the defrost heater once coils reach a specific temperature, preventing cabinet overheating.
- Clip-on mounting bracket engineered for secure attachment to the evaporator tubing for accurate thermal sensing.
- Environmental seal featuring moisture-resistant internal components to prevent frost buildup within the thermostat housing.
- Universal wire lead configuration allows for integration with various refrigerator wiring harnesses.

When to Replace
- Evaporator Frost Buildup: Heavy ice accumulation on the rear panel of the freezer, blocking airflow.
- Temperature Fluctuations: The refrigerator section is too warm while the freezer section is cold.
- Continuous Operation: The refrigerator runs constantly without entering a defrost cycle.
- Visual Deformity: The thermostat casing appears "bulged," swollen, or cracked, indicating internal failure.
- Electrical Continuity: The part fails a multimeter test (no continuity when reaching "closed" temperature).
Installation Tips
- Disconnect the refrigerator from the power source before beginning any repairs.
- Remove the freezer's rear evaporator cover panel to access the coils and the existing thermostat.
- Since this kit may require splicing, use waterproof heat-shrink butt connectors or wire nuts to protect electrical joins from high-moisture environments.
- Secure the thermostat clip firmly to the suction line or the evaporator coil as specified by the manufacturer's original placement.
- Organize and secure wiring away from the sharp edges of the evaporator fins to prevent insulation damage during thermal expansion.
