Whirlpool WP2306462 Refrigerator Bimetallic Defrost
Product Description
The Whirlpool WP2306462 Refrigerator Bimetallic Defrost is an essential component of frost-free refrigerators, ensuring peak cooling performance and energy efficiency. It works as an automated defrost thermostat, sensing the temperature in the freezer section. When the temperature reaches a certain threshold, usually just below freezing, the bimetallic defrost thermostat starts the defrost heater. After that, any frost that has built on the evaporator coils is melted by this heater, avoiding the WP2306462 formation of frost, which could obstruct airflow and lower cooling performance. When the temperature reaches a safe level, often a few degrees above freezing, the bimetallic defrost thermostat shuts off the heating element, avoiding the refrigerator from over-defrosting and wasting energy. This cycle keeps your refrigerator continuously cool for food storage while reducing energy use.
