Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Freezer not defrosting
• Frost buildup in the freezer or on the evaporator
• Refrigerator or freezer compartment too warm
• Reduced airflow or cooling efficiency caused by evaporator frost

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before inspection.
• Visually inspect the harness, connectors, and thermostat area for loose connections, damaged insulation, corrosion, or heat damage.
• Inspect for abnormal evaporator frost consistent with an automatic-defrost problem.
• Use the appliance-specific service documentation and appropriate electrical test procedures to check defrost-thermostat continuity under the specified temperature condition.
• If the thermostat tests normally, also evaluate the defrost heater, controls, connectors, and related wiring because these symptoms are not unique to this harness.
