Product Description

Defrost Thermostat Specifications

This limiter thermostat cuts out when the temperature inside your refrigerator reaches 55 degrees Fahrenheit and kicks back in when the internal temperature drops to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. If you discover temperature issues with your refrigerator or freezer, the defrost thermostat may need to be replaced. You will need tools for this repair, including a 1/4-inch nut driver, a pair of wire strippers, and a heat gun. Be sure to disconnect power to the refrigerator before completing this repair. The defrost thermostat is located behind the back panel of your side-by-side refrigerator/freezer. You will first need to remove the panel and take the defrost thermostat out to complete the repair.

Can the defrost thermostat be checked with an ohm meter. I have no continuity at ambient temp. Do i have to cool it down or heat it up to check the continuity?
For model number FRS26ZRFW3

Hi Thomas, Thank you for the question, The best way to do this is to remove the thermostat from the refrigerator so you can control the temperature of the sensor. You can let the sensor warm up to room temperature. With the sensor warmed up to room temperature the sensor should read approximately 6.2K Ohms at 68°F. With the thermistor submerged is a glass full of ice water, the sensor should be very close to 32°F which should read approximately 16.3K Ohms. If the values that you are getting are far off from these readings, then the sensor is bad and should be replaced. Hope this helps!

Hello! My problem is our freezer keeps defrosting. The temp. In the freezer ranges from 21 to 40 degrees. It took 3 days for it to make ice cubes. What is your opinion on fixing it. It's 10 years old. Thank you in advance
For model number FRT18HS6JB4

Hi Deb, Thank you for your question. There are a couple of parts that you could check to see if they are working correctly. You should take look at your defrost timer, your defrost thermostat, and your run capacitor. You can test all of those parts with a multi meter to make sure that they are working. If they are, you might have to check your cold control thermostat for your freezer. It could be that part that is causing the wrong temperatures in your appliance. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
