Description: This Defrost Bimetal is a replacement part for select Kenmore, Whirlpool refrigerator models. This crucial component functions as a safety thermostat in the freezer's defrost system. It is designed to monitor and control the temperature of the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle, preventing them from overheating. By cutting off the defrost heater when the coils reach a certain temperature, the bimetal helps maintain optimal functioning and efficiency of the refrigerator’s defrost system.
This is an aftermarket part that can be used as a replacement for the OEM part.
