Defrost Thermistor
The thermistor monitors the evaporator temperature to signal the control board when to terminate or initiate the defrost cycle. If the resistance values drift, the system fails to recognize frost accumulation, allowing ice to bridge the evaporator fins and block airflow to the fresh food compartment. Replacing this sensor restores the logic loop required for the automatic defrost sequence.

Evaporator Fan Motor
In a dual-evaporator system, the fan must actively pull air across the cooling coils to maintain setpoint temperatures. If the motor bearings fail or the windings short, moisture in the air remains stationary on the coils and flash-freezes. This creates a solid block of ice that prevents any further cooling of the refrigerator interior despite the compressor running.

Defrost Heater Assembly
The heating element is responsible for the thermal energy required to melt frost during the defrost phase. If the resistive element fails, the frost will never be cleared, leading to an 'iced-over' condition within 24-48 hours of operation. This mechanical failure prevents the evaporator from returning to a state where it can efficiently absorb heat.
