Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Freezer does not defrost normally
• Frost accumulates on the evaporator
• Refrigerator or freezer compartment becomes too warm
• Reduced airflow and cooling efficiency caused by evaporator frost

Check Before Replacing

• Unplug the refrigerator before inspection.
• Visually inspect the harness, connectors, and thermostat area for loose connections, damaged insulation, corrosion, or heat damage.
• Check for abnormal evaporator frost buildup consistent with an automatic-defrost problem.
• Using the appliance's service documentation and appropriate electrical test procedures, verify defrost-thermostat continuity under the specified temperature condition; do not replace the harness based on frost alone.
• If the thermostat tests normally, separately evaluate the defrost heater, control, and related wiring because the symptom is not unique to this harness.
