Defrost Thermostat (Bi-Metal)
This bi-metal sensor acts as a safety cutoff and switch for the defrost circuit. If the internal contacts fail to close when the evaporator reaches sub-freezing temperatures, the defrost heater will never be energized, leading to a massive ice buildup that blocks the airflow required to cool the fresh food compartment.

Defrost Heater Assembly
The defrost heater is a resistive heating element located beneath the evaporator coils. If the element suffers a mechanical break in the heating wire (open circuit), it cannot melt the frost accumulated during the compressor cycle, eventually causing the evaporator to become a solid block of ice that chokes the cooling fan's intake.

Main Power Control Board
The control board utilizes an algorithm to determine the timing of the defrost cycle based on compressor run time and door openings. A failure of the on-board defrost relay or a corruption of the control logic will prevent the system from ever initiating the defrost sequence, resulting in identical frost-clogging symptoms as a component failure.
