This ELTH-002 14258 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat prevents overheating during the defrost cycle in the refrigerator by protecting the evaporator. The most common sign that there is a problem with your refrigerator defrost thermostat kit is if your freezer is cold but your refrigerator is warm. If your evaporator coils are icy then your defrost bi-metal thermostat kit could be defective.
The product is for LG and Kenmore refrigerators.
Defrost sensor assembly ELTH-002 14258 monitors the temperature of the evaporator coil to prevent it from overheating. The assembly includes the defrost sensor, fuse, and wire harness.
Designed to fit specific LG and Kenmore manufactured refrigerator models. Some customer says this is also good for Bosch B21CL80SNS refrigerators with E4 error for defrosting fault.
