The defrost thermostat PL001 4171A is located inside the freezer, either directly on the evaporator or indirectly on the evaporator.
The replacement part for the PL001 4171A Defrost Bimetal Thermostat is to clip onto the evaporator and protect the evaporator from overheating during the defrost cycle. If your refrigerator isn't defrosting properly, you can test both the thermostat and the heater to find out what's wrong. For this repair, you'll need a Phillips screwdriver, a 1/4-inch nut screwdriver, a flat-blade screwdriver, a pair of wire strippers, a roll of electrical tape, and some butt joints.
