This defrost thermostat kit is an essential component for maintaining proper temperature regulation in your refrigerator or freezer. Designed to monitor the evaporator coil temperature, it prevents overheating during the defrost cycle by opening the heater circuit when the coil reaches approximately 50°F (10°C). Replacing a faulty thermostat can resolve common issues such as frost buildup, inconsistent cooling, water leaks, or increased energy consumption. Installation is straightforward—follow your appliance’s manual for guidance and ensure the power is disconnected before starting.

My refrigerator compressor won’t cut off. I’ve verified seals and correct temperature settings. The compressor has been running for over 12 hours.

Hello Jason, Thank you for writing. If the coils are coated in dust and dirt, the refrigerant may not cool properly and cause it to run longer then normal. If they are clean, we suggest testing the Defrost Thermostat and Defrost heater with a Multi Meter. We hope this helps!
