WP61006198 Whirlpool Refrigerator Heater

Part #: WPL WP61006198
This SxS Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat is a safety device that clips onto the evaporator inside the freezer. The Defrost Thermostat turns off the defrost heater in case it gets too warm in the freezer section. To access the part, you'll have to remove all shelving, bins, rails, and mounting clips from the inside of your freezer so you can access the back panel. Remove the back panel by removing the screws. Remove the light bulb cover and then lift out the back panel. Replacing the element will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the refrigerator and novice repair experience. You must unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part.
