Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat
This new bimetal defrost thermostat replaces Whirlpool part 4387490 and compatible references. It fits eighteen listed refrigerator models including 3ET14GKXBN00 and 5VET8WPKLQ02. The switch opens at forty-five degrees Fahrenheit to end the defrost cycle. Five-inch leads and a tubing clip for five-sixteenths-inch tube are included.
Suitable for Whirlpool model repairs
Technicians restoring defrost function on the eighteen compatible Whirlpool models can use this direct replacement. The fixed opening temperature and clip size suit only those designs. Builders needing a different cut-out temperature or a clip for another tube diameter must source a different part.
Opens at forty-five degrees Fahrenheit
The thermostat breaks the heater circuit at forty-five degrees Fahrenheit, a single fixed set-point that determines compatibility. If the original component specifies a different opening temperature this part will not regulate correctly. Verify the required temperature before ordering.
