Fix Number: FIX469522
Manufacturer Part Number: 5303918214

This is a genuine OEM kit for the defrost thermostat in your freezer. This kit comes with the clip, leads, and heat shrink. Some indicators that you may need to replace your thermostat is if there is excessive frost in your fridge or freezer, or the appliance will not defrost. Using a multimeter, you can determine if the thermostat is faulty. The thermostat is located behind a panel in the back of the freezer, so you will need to empty out the shelves in order to access it. Please be sure to disconnect the power supply to your appliance before beginning this repair. The tools you will need for this project include a 1/4-inch nut driver, wire strippers, and a heat gun or blow dryer. After you have replaced the thermostat, your fridge and freezer should start cooling again within 30 minutes of being plugged in.

If you have frost building up in your freezer, or the temperature in your fridge is running too warm, there may be an issue with the defrost thermostat. This thermostat sits on the top of the evaporator and protects it from overheating when the defrost cycle is running. It does this by regulating the temperature in your appliance, and should shut off the heater once the frost has melted off the coils. If you need a new thermostat, this is a genuine OEM replacement part. Please be sure to disconnect the power supply to your fridge before beginning this repair.
