Samsung Refrigerator Defrost Bi-Metal Thermostat

Keep your freezer frost-free and your refrigerator at the correct temperature with this Genuine OEM Defrost Bi-Metal Thermostat. This part (Part # DA47-00243K) is a safety sensor that monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils. It shuts off the defrost heater once the frost has melted, preventing the appliance from overheating.

If your freezer is filling with ice, the fridge section is getting warm, or the defrost heater won’t turn on, this bi-metal switch is likely defective. As a factory-certified Samsung part, it is engineered to trip at the exact temperature required to protect your refrigerator’s internal components.

Quick Info:

• Compatibility: Genuine part designed specifically for Samsung refrigerator models.

• Fixes Common Issues: Resolves heavy frost buildup on evaporator coils, cooling failures in the fresh food section, and heater circuit errors.

• Durability: Housed in a moisture-resistant casing to prevent sensor failure in high-humidity freezer environments.

• Install: Requires basic splicing or plug-in connection, depending on your specific wire harness. Unplug the refrigerator before beginning the repair.

Pro Tip: You can often tell this part is bad just by looking at it. If the metal casing appears swollen, “bulged,” or cracked, the internal seals have failed and the part must be replaced. To test it with a meter, it must be cold (below 15°F) to show continuity.
