XPARTCO 5303918214 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat
The XPARTCO 5303918214 is an aftermarket replacement defrost thermostat kit for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Crosley refrigerators — commonly used on side-by-side and French door models equipped with an ice maker. This thermostat monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils: when the coils drop below a set temperature, it allows power to reach the defrost heater so frost can be cleared; once the coils warm back up, it cuts power to the heater again, protecting the evaporator from being overheated during that process.
The most common reasons this thermostat gets replaced are a classic pair of symptoms: the freezer stays cold while the fresh food refrigerator section runs warm, or the refrigerator simply isn't defrosting on its normal cycle. Because this thermostat sits behind the rear access panel near the ice maker on many compatible models, replacing it typically involves removing the ice maker and the back panel to reach it — a more involved repair than a thermostat mounted in an easily accessible spot. It directly replaces AP2150145, 892545, AH469522, EA469522, PS469522, and 75303918214.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 5303918214 Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat fixes Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Crosley refrigerators where the freezer stays cold but the fresh food section runs warm, or the refrigerator isn't defrosting on its normal cycle. Replaces AP2150145, 892545, AH469522, EA469522, PS469522, 75303918214. This is a separate part from our 5303918202 defrost thermostat listing — the two fit different model groups and are not interchangeable. Installation on many compatible models requires removing the ice maker to access the thermostat.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator from the wall outlet and turn off the water supply to the refrigerator before beginning. Wear work gloves. If your model has an ice maker, remove it first using a screwdriver to gain clearance for the next steps. Remove the back panel with a screwdriver to expose the defrost thermostat. Take out the existing thermostat and disconnect its wiring, labeling or photographing each connection first. Install the new 5303918214 thermostat by connecting the wires according to the wiring diagram provided with the kit, then secure the thermostat to the main housing using the small mounting screws. Reinstall the back panel, plug the refrigerator back in, turn the water supply back on, and reinstall the ice maker. Test the refrigerator over the following day to confirm both compartments are cooling evenly and the defrost cycle is running normally. Tools needed: screwdriver, wire cutters/strippers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to remove the ice maker for this repair?
On many compatible models, yes — the thermostat sits behind the rear access panel in an area that the ice maker partially blocks, so removing it first gives you the clearance needed to reach the panel and the thermostat behind it. It's an extra step compared to some simpler defrost thermostat replacements, but it's a standard part of this particular repair.
My freezer is cold but the fridge is warm. Is this the thermostat?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a failed defrost thermostat. When it fails, the defrost heater can't run correctly to clear frost from the evaporator coil, and the resulting ice buildup blocks the airflow that's supposed to carry cold air to the fresh food compartment. The freezer, sitting closer to the coil, often stays reasonably cold, while the fresh food side runs warm since it depends on that circulated air.
I replaced the thermostat but my freezer temperature is still fluctuating. What should I check next?
Replacing this thermostat resolves the issue for most customers, but if fluctuation continues, it's worth checking the other components in the same defrost circuit — the defrost timer and defrost heater — since a failure in either of those can produce similar temperature instability even with a good thermostat installed. It's also worth confirming the door seals are sealing properly, since a poor seal lets warm air in and can cause temperature swings unrelated to the defrost system.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire OEM part, but is manufactured to match the temperature threshold, mounting configuration, and function of the original 5303918214 defrost thermostat used in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Crosley refrigerators.

XPARTCO DA47-00243K Refrigerator Defrost Thermostat
The XPARTCO DA47-00243K is an aftermarket replacement defrost bi-metal thermostat compatible with select Samsung French door and bottom freezer refrigerators. This thermostat is a critical component in the automatic defrost system, functioning as a thermal safety device that monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle.
When the evaporator reaches the preset maximum temperature of 140°F (60°C), the bi-metal thermostat opens the circuit and cuts power to the defrost heater — preventing overheating and damage to the evaporator. It resets and closes again at 104°F (40°C), allowing the next defrost cycle to begin normally. When the thermostat fails, it can cause excessive frost buildup on the evaporator coils, poor cooling performance, or a heater that won't shut off — all resulting in the refrigerator failing to maintain proper temperatures.
Quick Answer

154825001 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Dishwasher Heating Element
The 154825001 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM round heating element that sits exposed at the bottom of the dishwasher tub. Unlike a hidden element concealed beneath the tub floor, this is a visible ring-shaped element you can see sitting right in the bottom of the wash chamber. It serves two jobs: it heats the wash water to the temperature needed to properly dissolve detergent and break down grease and food soil, and at the end of the cycle it provides the heat that drives the drying phase, helping moisture evaporate off your dishes rather than leaving them wet.
Mounted through a 0.98" hole with two mounting nuts and connected by two wire terminals, this element carries a pair of white alignment dots that must line up with the tub's retaining clips during installation. Over time, mineral buildup from hard water, general corrosion, or simple electrical wear can cause the element to fail. A failing or dead element produces a specific and recognizable pattern: water never gets hot enough to clean effectively, dishes come out wet at the end of the cycle instead of dry, and the whole cycle may run noticeably longer as the dishwasher's control tries to compensate. It directly replaces AP5628696, 154482901, 154663801, 2308825, PS3653449, and EAP3653449. As a genuine OEM part, the 154825001 is manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The 154825001 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Dishwasher Heating Element fixes Frigidaire, Kenmore, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, and Westinghouse dishwashers with dishes that don't get properly clean, dishes that come out wet instead of dry, or cycles that take longer than they used to. Exposed round heating element, 0.98" mounting hole, 2 wire terminals. Replaces AP5628696, 154482901, 154663801, 2308825, PS3653449, EAP3653449. Before replacing, test the old element with a multimeter for resistance — a bad control board relay can produce identical symptoms with a perfectly good element.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dishes not getting properly clean because wash water isn't reaching the correct temperature
Dishwasher not drying dishes — items come out wet at the end of the cycle
Cycle taking noticeably longer than usual to complete
Visible damage, corrosion, or discoloration on the element itself
Element that doesn't glow or heat up when the wash cycle is running
Water leaking near the high-temperature wire connector at the element terminals
Mineral scale buildup visible on or around the element

⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher And Shut Off Water Before Starting — Handle The Element Carefully Disconnect power at the circuit breaker and shut off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves. On many models you'll need to pull the dishwasher out from under the counter to access the undercarriage — remove the two screws securing the unit to the counter first. Remove the lower rack and the lower spray arm (it typically pushes down and twists to unlock) to access the element inside the tub. From underneath, disconnect the two wires from the element's terminals and remove the two mounting nuts with a 1/2" wrench, taking care not to overtighten when you reach the new element — over-torquing can crush the sealing washers and cause a leak at the connector. Lift the old element free from its retaining clips inside the tub. To install the new 154825001, locate the two white alignment dots on the element and position them so they slide into the tub's retaining clips correctly — this ensures the element seats in its proper orientation. Push the terminals down through the mounting hole, then from underneath, reinstall and tighten the mounting nuts snugly but not excessively. Reconnect the two wires to the terminals, reinstall the lower spray arm and press it down to lock it in place, and reinstall the lower rack. Restore water and power, then slide the dishwasher back into place and secure it to the counter with its mounting screws. Run a test cycle and check underneath for any leaks at the element connection before considering the repair complete. Tools needed: screwdriver, 1/2" wrench, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know it's the heating element and not something else, like the control board?
Before replacing the element, it's worth testing it with a multimeter for resistance — a healthy element typically reads in the neighborhood of 14 ohms, though exact values vary by model. If the old element tests fine but dishes still aren't drying or getting hot enough, the more likely cause is upstream of the element itself, such as a control board relay that isn't sending power to it correctly. Some owners have replaced a perfectly good element only to find the actual fault was a bad solder connection on the control board relay — testing first can save you an unnecessary purchase.
Can I clean the element instead of replacing it?
Light surface cleaning to remove mineral scale buildup is reasonable and can sometimes help if reduced heating output is due to scale insulating the element. However, if the element tests as an open circuit (no continuity) or shows visible damage, cracking, or corrosion through the metal sheath, cleaning won't restore it — replacement is the correct fix at that point.
I noticed water leaking near the element's wire connector. Is that related?
Yes, this is a documented failure point on this element design — the high-temperature wire connector at the terminals can develop a leak, especially if the mounting nuts were overtightened during a prior installation and damaged the sealing washer. When installing the new element, tighten the mounting nuts snugly but avoid excessive force, which helps prevent this same leak point from recurring.
Do I really need to pull the dishwasher out from under the counter?
On most installations, yes — accessing the mounting nuts and wire terminals underneath the tub requires pulling the unit forward after removing the two screws that secure it to the counter. Some technicians have managed the nut removal with a deep socket without fully pulling the unit, but planning for full access makes the job considerably easier, especially the first time.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original heating output, mounting configuration, and terminal layout of the element originally installed in your dishwasher.
