XPARTCO 5303918214 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat
Clip-on defrost bi-metal thermostat for select Frigidaire-built refrigerators and freezers.
Product Overview
The XPARTCO 5303918214 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat monitors evaporator temperature as part of the automatic defrost circuit. During the defrost cycle, the thermostat helps control power to the defrost heater so frost can be removed from the evaporator while protecting the system from excessive heat.
This is a quality XPARTCO aftermarket replacement part designed for compatible Frigidaire-built refrigerators, including select Frigidaire, Kenmore, Crosley, Gibson, Tappan, Kelvinator, and White-Westinghouse models.
Quick Answer
5303918214 is a clip-on refrigerator defrost thermostat identified by the L47-22F temperature code. It cross-references to AP2150145, PS469522, 892545, and related Frigidaire/Electrolux catalog numbers and is used in the evaporator defrost circuit on compatible refrigerators. Always verify the complete appliance model number before ordering.
Common Problems This Part May Fix

- Freezer is cold but fresh-food section is too warm
- Refrigerator does not defrost automatically
- Airflow is restricted by an iced evaporator coil
- Defrost heater does not energize when the thermostat should be closed

- Locate the thermostat clipped to the evaporator tubing and photograph the original wire routing.
- Disconnect or cut the old thermostat leads only as directed by the appliance service procedure.
- Install the new thermostat in the same location and orientation on the evaporator tubing.
- Use properly rated sealed connectors or heat-shrink splices suitable for the cold, damp freezer environment.
- Keep wiring clear of the evaporator fan, heater, sharp sheet metal, and moving components.
- Reassemble all covers before restoring power.
Diagnostic note: Frost buildup can also be caused by a failed defrost heater, defrost timer/control board, wiring fault, door-seal problem, or airflow issue. Test the defrost system before replacing parts whenever possible.
