Thanks For The Help		#1 Posted : Monday, September 21, 2015 4:12:29 PM(UTC)
Rank: Member Groups: Registered Joined: 9/21/2015(UTC) Posts: 2		The defrost on my Whirlpool fridge (ET14NKXGW02) is not working (freezes up). I have already confirmed that the defrost heater works. I have located the timer, but am confused about locating the "bi-metal switch". Is it the small silver and blue clip-on "button" on this wiring harness : Whirlpool 2192096 Wiring, Freezer - AppliancePartsPros.com If so, I put it in a sealed cup full of ice for over an hour and never got continuity across that "button". Am I on the right track ?

Now when others search for a similar problem they will see what actually worked instead of just suggestions about what could be the cause.
