Product Description
This is an authentic OEM replacement part. This defrost thermostat is commonly used in refrigerators. It features snap on tubing clip, and has two female terminals for connection. The thermostat works in conjunction with the defrost heater and the defrost timer. When the coils on your refrigerator are too cold and frost is building the timer tells the heater it is time to warm the coils up, and when the coils reach a certain temperature the thermostat signals the heater it?s time to shut off. Basically when the thermostat opens the heater shuts off, it prevents the coils from overheating. This defrost thermostat cuts out at 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and it kicks back at 25 degrees Fahrenheit. If you notice your fridge or freezer are too warm you may need to replace your defrost thermostat.
