Whirlpool WP67004757 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat
Product Description
The Whirlpool WP67004757 is an essential component of your refrigerator, specifically the defrost thermostat. This tiny but crucial component is crucial in keeping your refrigerator from turning into a frigid cave. It monitors the evaporator coils, where frost builds up during the cooling cycle, serving as a temperature switch. The defrost thermostat starts a defrost cycle when the coils reach the predetermined temperature. The frost melts and drains away during this cycle, avoiding an excessive accumulation of ice that can impair the refrigerator's capacity to maintain the right cooling temperatures. This keeps your food fresh longer and eliminates the need for messy and time-consuming manual defrosting.
