Description: This defrost thermostat is a exact replacement part responsible for regulating the defrost cycle in a refrigerator's freezer compartment. This part is typically located on or near the evaporator coils within the freezer. When frost and ice begin to accumulate on the coils during normal refrigerator operation, the thermostat detects a temperature drop. In response, it signals the refrigerator's defrost heater to activate, which raises the temperature within the freezer slightly to melt the accumulated frost and ice.
