• Common Symptoms: Evaporator frosts over, defrost heater does not energize when it should, or continuity/temperature testing identifies a failed defrost thermostat.
• Visible/Sensory Cues: Open or intermittent thermostat at an incorrect temperature, corrosion, damaged leads, loose clip/contact to the evaporator, or frost accumulation consistent with a defrost fault.

Pro Tip: Test the thermostat at the proper temperature and inspect the heater, wiring and timer/control board as a system; confirm the thermostat is clipped/mounted at the specified evaporator location.
