How to replace Samsung Bi-Metal Defrost Thermostat Part # DA47-00243K

[@michaelmcmullin1125]

Do you have a video about removing front panel of Jen air slide in stove JES9800CAF01?

[@ronaldm5405]

This is a termal fuse,it works with hot temperature: If you measure with multimeter,you can get continuity in normal condition or room temperature,it works as a protection in case the defrost resistance not getting off from the electronic card,that's why ,there is a inscription on this 60/40,it means :at 60 degrees Celsius,open the circuit,and, at 40 degrees Celsius close the circuit again. It doesn't work with cold temperature. So,don't get confused dear friends!! How to test: if you want to test, simply, approach to hot surface,for a short time (probably ,no more than two minutes) with a multimeter,in continuity,and you will see, the circuit will get open ,you can attach a thermometer as well ,once, it getting cold (probably 40 degrees Celsius), again close the circuit by itself . I hope you guys understand. Sorry,my English is not so good!!! Best regards.

Thanks for sharing! Technically they are not a fuse since it will reset.

@@PartsDr I explained how it works,at 60 degrees Celsius,open the circuit,at 40 degrees Celsius close the circuit,and keep close at room temperature,it doesn't work with cold temperature,it works only with hot temperature. But ,some technicians get confused , because it looks like a Bimetal,but it's not. Thanks and best regards.

@@ronaldm5405 It is bi-metal.

[@ronaldm5405]

@@PartsDr Sorry dear ,it's not a Bimetal,because ,firstable it doesn't work with cold temperature ,it works with hot temperature,second thing :the location ,it's Not attached on the evaporator pipe,it's aside . I have check these kind of thermo fuse in SAMSUNG refrigerator. Another difference between a Bimetal and this thermo fuse is : -thermo fuse is close at room temperature, however, -Bimetal is open circuit at room temperature, and close the circuit when rich certain cold temperature. What I am saying,is my information as technician,to resolve some issues , firstable I investigate from different ways. thanks and best regards.

@@ronaldm5405 Sorry, you are wrong. Bi-metal has nothing to do with cold temperatures. It refers to how the part works and they can be engineered at the factory to work at cold or hot temperatures. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bimetal

As I know this good I have one and it gives me continuity is resistance without putting it cold

[@gabrieldavidquinonesgarcia5072]

mmira que me pasa igual con una samsung inverter. ésta pieza da continuidad... sin enfriarla... No es el comportamiento de un bimetálico... Al pareces no es un bimetal... Compré una pieza nueva... de las mismas y da continuidad en caliente... No sé la gente de éstas mi3rd4s de canales porque desinforman... Y ni responden las preguntas... aunque sean relevantes... En este video no hay ni tantos comentarios. Simplemente veo que no responden... Quizá la función de esta pieza sea distinta... Y no sea un bimetal como dicen en éste vid. Ni siquiera es un termostato... No cambia sus propiedades ohmicas acorde a cambios de temperatura. Mera desinformacion.

This is a bimetal switch,when it's cold,passes electricity to the heater,heater heats to 60 degrees,cuts the electricity to heater,this is not a thermal fuse,that heats up and blows then so you need to replace itthe bimetal resets when the evaporator gets cold,and starts it process again,when the defrost on the control boards calls for it

[@sshed4765]

what is the part number for my Samsung refrigerator model number RF263BEAEBC for that part. thanks

[@PartsDr]

The model that you provided is not complete. Watch this video to get the full model number here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/annLiH9vqNShq6c Also, refrigerator or freezer compartment?

[@slambladam]

This defrost thermostat is for the Fridge or Freezer section?

[@PartsDr]

The part shown in this video is in the freezer section. There is usually one in both sections.

[@Outoftime11]

@@PartsDr can it cause freezer to stop working? My Samsung refrigerator fridge is working but freezer not.

[@PartsDr]

@@Outoftime11 If this part fails, the evaporator coil will build up with ice and frost. This causes the air to stop circulating properly and it will not cool properly.

[@19181996]

I should not give continuity I put my multimeter in ohms and in and resistance and I continue that is in series with resistance

[@jehu2134]

How do you test that thermostat?

[@PartsDr]

This part should have continuity at room temperature and it will open up (no continuity) at higher temperatures.

[@jambar0201]

Hi my friend Please need your help it's urgent Have 5 alone refrigerating unit have problems adjusting one of them with the control Ref:ir33 + easy wide small I don't know if you are familiar with this type txs

[@lambertj.2892]

what does this part do?

[@PartsDr]

The bi-metal defrost thermostat on this refrigerator is a high limit safety thermostat that stops the defrost cycle if it gets too hot. If this part fails, it can stop the refrigerator from going through the automatic defrost cycle and the evaporator coil will build up with frost and/or ice. Usually the temperature will start to warm up because of lack of air flow.
