Frigidaire Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat Kit / Defrost Bi-Metal Thermostat 5303918214, Replaces 75303918214

Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Excessive frost or ice on the freezer’s rear interior panel or evaporator area
• Freezer section becoming too warm as airflow is restricted by frost
• Fresh-food section becoming warm while the freezer remains cold
• Refrigerator running for unusually long periods because frost obstructs cooling airflow

Check Before Replacing

• With the refrigerator unplugged, visually inspect the evaporator area for heavy frost and verify that the thermostat is clipped securely to the evaporator tubing in its original position.
• Inspect the thermostat leads, crimp connections, and insulation for looseness, corrosion, or visible damage.
• If electrical testing is appropriate for the specific refrigerator service procedure, check thermostat continuity with power disconnected and the thermostat at the required cold condition; do not bypass the thermostat or test live wiring.
• Check the defrost heater and defrost-control components separately because frost buildup does not by itself identify the thermostat as the failed component.

Installation Notes

• Disconnect electrical power before servicing.
• Access generally requires removing the freezer shelves or drawers and the rear interior evaporator panel, depending on the refrigerator design.
• Unclip the old thermostat from the evaporator tubing and install the replacement in the same location using the included clip.
• Follow the kit’s wiring diagram and use the supplied connectors and heat-shrink material for the wire connections.
• Keep wiring clear of evaporator fins and sharp edges, then reinstall removed panels and interior components before restoring power.
