Whirlpool WPW10160570 Refrigerator bimetal defroster
Product Description
The Whirlpool WPW10160570 serves as a bimetal defrost thermostat, which serves as a vital component in your refrigerator for avoiding frost development and maintaining its efficient operation. This automatic defrost system utilises a bimetallic strip, which refers to a type of metal that bends in accordance with changes in temperature. When the freezer coil reaches a certain temperature, the bimetal strip senses the cold and activates the defrost heater. This heater then warms up the coils, melting any accumulated frost. Once the temperature exceeds a particular point, the bimetal strip bends back, turning off the heater and reiterating the cooling cycle. This defrost cycle removes ice growth on the evaporator coils, which may hinder airflow and restrict the efficiency of cooling.
