    Cyclic Defrost in a Kelevinator Refregator how does it work?
    How does one defrost a Kelvinator Fridge that has a Cyclic Defrost Temperature control system in it ?

    Would appreciate anyone that has a similar fridge & has sound advise on how to best defrost this type of fridge with the Cyclic Defrost Temperature control ?

    Thanks Sara

    Please describe the control system your unit has. If it is a normal type it has a defrost timer which turns off the fan in freezer and the compressor and energizes the defrost heater until the terminator t-stat turns it off or the timer turns it off, whichever one is first. It's a very straightforward system that is easy to work on. The electronic ones are totally different, but normally when they go bad only the heater and terminator need to be replaced. Just remove the cover to coils in freezer to access heater and terminator. Don't forget to clean the coils under unit, too. Many times the timer is under the unit near the coils or near the t-stat in the refrigerator section. DrTom4444
