Defrost Thermistor (Sensor)
The thermistor utilizes a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) resistor to signal the control board. If the sensor's casing is breached by moisture or the internal substrate drifts, it provides an incorrect resistance value, causing the control board to skip defrost cycles. This leads to a total blockage of the evaporator fins with frost, preventing airflow to the fresh food section.

Defrost Heater Assembly
This resistive heating element is responsible for the periodic melting of frost accumulation on the evaporator coils. Thermal fatigue over thousands of cycles eventually causes a physical break in the nichrome wire or the quartz glass sheath, creating an open circuit. Without this heat source, ice accumulates until it chokes the heat exchange process and stalls the cooling efficiency.

Evaporator Fan Motor
The evaporator fan provides the forced convection required to pull heat from the cabinet air across the refrigerant-cooled coils. If the motor's internal bearings seize or the windings fail, air remains stagnant; this lack of air movement allows moisture to rapidly deposit and freeze into a solid block, insulating the coils and preventing the refrigerator from reaching setpoint.
