Defrost Thermistor (Sensor)
This sensor provides real-time temperature feedback to the control board. If the thermistor's resistance drifts, it can erroneously signal that the evaporator has reached the proper temperature to end the defrost cycle. This results in residual ice remaining on the coils, which compounds over several cycles until airflow is completely obstructed.

Defrost Heater Assembly
The heater is a resistive element designed to melt frost accumulated on the evaporator fins. If the internal filament undergoes a mechanical break (open circuit), no heat is generated during the defrost stage. Without radiant heat, the evaporator becomes a solid block of ice, preventing the cooling of the refrigerator compartment.

Evaporator Fan Motor
The fan motor is responsible for the forced convection of air over the evaporator coils and into the food zones. If the motor fails to actuate, the localized air around the coils stays stagnant and becomes super-cooled, causing moisture to rapidly solidify into ice while the rest of the cabin remains warm.
