Defrost timer - 60hz 120v (refrigerator defrost timer)

This 60Hz 120V defrost timer will cycle for thirty minutes after every eight hours of run time. You can turn the dial on the defrost timer clockwise to be able to advance it in and out of defrost mode. The defrost timer helps melt away any ice that may have built up on the evaporator coils. If your refrigerator/freezer is too warm or too cold, will not advance into the defrost cycle, freezer will not defrost, or it runs too long, the defrost timer may be defective and will need to be replaced. This is a genuine OEM part. Please remember to disconnect the power to the refrigerator before starting your repair.

Defrost thermostat (refrigerator defrost bi-metal thermostat)

The defrost thermostat snaps onto the top portion of the evaporator. It acts as a safety device and protects the evaporator from overheating during the defrost cycle. The thermostat can sense the rise in the evaporator temperature during the defrost cycle and cycles the defrost heater off after all the frost is melted from the coils. This limiter thermostat will cut out when the temperature inside your refrigerator reaches 55 degrees Fahrenheit and kicks back in when the internal temperature drops to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. The defrost thermostat may need to be replaced if the appliance is experiencing temperature-related issues. This is a genuine OEM part. It is recommended to disconnect the power to your appliance before starting your repair.

Light bulb - 40w (appliance light bulb, 40-watt 40a15)

This 40-Watt light bulb is sold individually and is a genuine OEM replacement option for your home appliances. It is specially designed to withstand extreme temperatures, so this bulb is compatible with a variety of appliance types including refrigerators, ranges, microwaves, and dryers. It features a frosted glass bulb with a standard metal socket base, which allows you to easily unscrew the burnt-out light and twist the new bulb into place. Depending on your appliance, there may be a guard or cover protecting the lightbulb, in which case you may require additional tools to remove the cover. We recommend disconnecting the power supply to your appliance before changing the lightbulb.
