The function of the defrost bi-metal thermostat is to clip onto the evaporator and protect your evaporator from overheating during the defrost cycle. If your refrigerator does not defrost properly you can test both the thermostat and the heater to figure out which part is at fault. For this repair, you will need a Phillips screwdriver, a 1/4 inch nut driver, a flat blade screwdriver, a pair of wire strippers, a roll of electrical tape, and a few butt splice connectors.

How does a bimetal defrost thermostat work?
A defrost bimetal thermostat works separately from the refrigerator or freezer. The defrost bimetal thermostat does this by activating a hot gas valve or an electrical heating element that raises the temperature near the evaporator, which then melts the frost that has formed.
