My Sears refrigerator keeps frosting up even though it's a 'frostless.' I know the defrost heater is gone. Is there anything else that should be replaced, like a defrost heater thermostat, for example?

How did you know the defrost heater is bad?

You have to check the defrost heater and the defrost thermostat (bi metal) for continuity. The defrost thermostat must be cold at time of the test.

- The part number for the defrost heater is AP3124621

- The part number for the defrost thermostat is AP3108444
