The function of the Defrost bi-metal thermostat WPW10225581 is to clip onto the evaporator and protect the evaporator from overheating during the defrost cycle.
For this repair, you will need a Phillips screwdriver, a 1/4 inch nut driver, a flat blade screwdriver, a pair of wire strippers, a roll of electrical tape, and a few butt splice connectors

This part fixes the following symptoms:

• Freezer section too warm.

• Freezer not defrosting.

• Freezer too cold.

• ice building up in the freezer

How to test:
Using a multimeter, measure continuity through the thermostat before defrosting. The thermostat must be very cold before it will close the circuit.
If found to have no continuity or the thermostat looks to be expanded or disfigured, it is faulty.

Repair Tip:
Some thermostats have plug in style wire connectors. Most will have to be spliced in using wiring connectors. It is recommended to use "pigtail connectors" and seal the connection with silicone after crimping.
