Manufacturer Part Number: 5303918634

This genuine defrost thermostat kit is a critical safety component that monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle, cutting power to the defrost heater once the coils reach a specific temperature (typically around 41°F to 47°F) to prevent overheating. Ideal for fixing issues such as excessive frost buildup, inconsistent temperatures, or continuous operation, the kit includes the thermostat with attached wiring, crimp-style butt connectors, and heat shrink tubing for a moisture-proof seal. Installation requires cutting and splicing wires to accommodate various configurations—follow your appliance’s instructions for proper setup.
