GE WR50X10069 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat

Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat – GE

The defrost thermostat monitors evaporator coil temperature and cuts power to the defrost heater once the coils reach the correct temperature. When it fails open-circuit, the heater never activates and frost builds up on the coils, blocking airflow and causing the refrigerator to stop cooling. This direct-replacement thermostat restores proper defrost cycling.
