Customer Questions
How does a refrigerator defrost thermostat help control ice buildup?

It monitors temperature in the defrost system and helps control when the defrost heater operates to remove ice from the evaporator coils.

What happens between the defrost thermostat and the evaporator heater?

When the system reaches the required temperature conditions, the thermostat helps control power to the defrost heater, allowing it to melt accumulated frost from the coils.

Is the Frigidaire 297216600 thermostat compatible with my freezer?

The listed models are CFUF14LW0, GDR22CWL4, F22CWF3, and AFFC1466DW3. Match your appliance’s full model number and verify the replacement part number before ordering.

Why might thick frost remain inside a freezer with a defrost thermostat installed?

If the thermostat fails to regulate defrosting properly, frost can accumulate on the evaporator coils. A malfunctioning heater, damaged wiring, or another defrost component may cause similar symptoms.

What maintenance does a refrigerator defrost thermostat require?

The thermostat typically has no separate routine cleaning requirement. Monitor unusual frost accumulation and address defrost system issues promptly to help identify faults.

Will a new defrost thermostat fix a freezer that is not defrosting properly?

It may resolve the problem if the original thermostat is faulty. If frost buildup or cooling issues continue, the heater, wiring, and other refrigeration components may require diagnosis.

Ground shipping is used, with an estimated delivery time of 5–7 business days.

Is the Frigidaire 297216600 Defrost Thermostat an OEM replacement?
