Common Symptoms

  • Excessive frost or ice accumulation
  • Reduced cooling or a warm freezer/refrigerator section
  • Defrost-related water leakage
  • Temperature instability associated with incomplete defrosting

Check Before Replacing

  • Disconnect power before accessing the defrost thermostat or wiring.
  • Inspect the evaporator area for abnormal frost buildup and inspect the thermostat, clip, and wiring for visible damage or poor connections.
  • Confirm that the thermostat is firmly clipped in its original sensing location and that its wiring is intact.
  • If electrical testing is performed, use the appliance’s model-specific service documentation and test only with power disconnected; do not bypass the thermostat as a repair.

Pro Tip

A failed defrost thermostat can produce symptoms that overlap with a failed heater, control, wiring, or airflow problem; verify the complete defrost circuit before replacing the thermostat.
