FAQs

This part number 5303918214 is commonly used on select refrigerators from Frigidaire, Kenmore, Electrolux, Crosley, Westinghouse, and Gibson. The safest way to confirm fit is to match your refrigerator's model number and verify that your original thermostat or parts list references 5303918214 or one of its replacement numbers.
This defrost thermostat kit cross-references to 5303918214, 75303918214, 892545, AP2150145, PS469522, AH469522, and EA469522.
Common signs include heavy frost buildup on the evaporator, a refrigerator section that gets warm while the freezer still seems cold, reduced airflow from the vents, long run times, and a defrost heater that does not come on when it should. On many units, a failed defrost thermostat can cause the evaporator coil to ice over until cooling performance drops.
The defrost thermostat monitors evaporator temperature and helps control when the defrost heater can operate. Its job is to allow defrost operation only when the evaporator is cold enough and to help prevent overheating during the defrost cycle. If it fails, the unit may not defrost properly or may develop excessive frost around the evaporator.
On most top-freezer and side-by-side designs, this is a moderate repair. Typical access requires unplugging the refrigerator, removing freezer shelves or the rear interior freezer panel, melting or clearing enough frost to reach the evaporator area, then disconnecting the old thermostat and installing the new one in the same location on the evaporator tubing. Common tools are a screwdriver, nut driver, wire stripper/crimper if the kit uses splice connectors, and a hair dryer or steamer for frost removal. Many repairs take about 30 to 90 minutes depending on ice buildup and refrigerator layout.
Before installing the new thermostat, inspect the full defrost system: the defrost heater, wiring/connectors, evaporator fan operation, and the defrost control board or timer if your model uses one. Also check for a fully iced evaporator coil behind the freezer panel, which is a classic sign of defrost failure. If the thermostat is being replaced because of repeated frost problems, make sure door gaskets seal well and the drain is not blocked.
These parts commonly fail from age, repeated temperature cycling, moisture intrusion, corrosion at the leads or connectors, or overheating related to a defrost system issue. In some cases, the thermostat itself is not the only problem, so repeated icing after replacement can point to a bad heater, failed control board/timer, or damaged wiring.
