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.
Common Problems This Part Fixes

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.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. The thermistor location varies by model — it is typically clipped to a bracket on the interior side wall of the fresh food or freezer compartment, or mounted near the evaporator coil. Consult your model's parts diagram or service manual to confirm the exact location before disassembly. Open the sensor cover or unclip the sensor bracket, disconnect the wiring connector, and pull the old thermistor out. Insert the new 2188820 thermistor, reconnect the wiring connector, and snap the cover or bracket back into place. Ensure the sensor head is positioned close to the compartment wall and the wiring is not pinched. Restore power and monitor the refrigerator temperature over the next few hours to confirm stable, accurate cooling. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver (for panel access on some models); no tools needed for sensor replacement itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 2188820 and WP2188820?
These are the same thermistor. WP2188820 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 2188820. The 2213442 is also a cross-reference for the same part. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all three numbers.
What does an NTC thermistor do and how do I know if mine has failed?
An NTC thermistor is a resistor whose resistance decreases as temperature increases. The control board sends a small voltage through the thermistor and measures the resulting resistance — a lower resistance means warmer temperature, and a higher resistance means cooler temperature. The board uses this reading to decide when to run the compressor and fans. A failed thermistor either reads open circuit (no continuity), short circuit (zero resistance), or provides incorrect readings that cause the refrigerator to run too warm, too cold, or cycle erratically. Test with a multimeter at room temperature — a working 2188820 should read approximately 50K ohms at 25°C (77°F). Significant deviation indicates failure.
How do I know if my refrigerator uses the WISE system?
The WISE (Whirlpool Intelligent Smart Energy) system was introduced on newer Whirlpool refrigerator models and uses a different thermistor specification that is not interchangeable with the 2188820. Models that use the WISE system are typically marked in the product documentation or on the control board. The easiest way to confirm compatibility is to verify your model number with our support team before ordering, or check whether WP2188820 appears in your model's official parts diagram. If your parts diagram lists WP2188820, this replacement is compatible.
Where is the thermistor located in my refrigerator?
The thermistor location varies by model and brand. On Whirlpool and KitchenAid models, it is commonly found on the interior side wall of the fresh food compartment clipped to a plastic housing. On some models it is located near the evaporator coil behind the freezer back panel. On Kenmore 106 series models, it may be on the fresh food section wall or inside the back panel. Consult your specific model's parts diagram or search for a model-specific installation video to locate the sensor before disassembling the refrigerator.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured with an NTC thermistor rated to the same 50K ohm specification as the original WP2188820 to match the performance and accuracy of the factory sensor.

XPARTCO BPV-31 Refrigerator Refrigerant Piercing Valve / Line Tap Valve Kit
The XPARTCO BPV-31 is a universal bullet piercing tap valve (line tap valve) used to quickly access a sealed refrigerant line on refrigerators, freezers, window air conditioners, dehumidifiers, and other HVAC systems — without soldering or brazing. The valve clamps around a copper refrigerant line and, when the valve stem is tightened with the included hex key, a hardened piercing needle punctures the tubing to create an access port. This lets a technician connect a charging hose or gauge to check pressure, pull a vacuum, or add refrigerant to a system that has no factory service port. It's a staple tool for appliance service and DIY refrigerator/freezer repair.
Fits 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8" outside diameter copper pipes with the included adapters. The access port connection is a 1/4" male flare fitting. Rated to 500 PSI maximum, with a patented permanent gasket providing over 180 inch-lbs of sealing force — around 50 times the sealing area of a standard O-ring type valve — pressure tested at 250°F. Corrosion-resistant metal (zinc alloy) construction with a piercing needle engineered for concentricity and hardness to seat perfectly every time. Non-positional mounting requires no separate adapter valve and only 2" of clearance for installation. Each kit includes the piercing valve, a hex key wrench, and 2 adapters. It replaces AP4502525, BPV31, BPV31D, GPV14, GPV31, GPV38, GPV56, and MPV31.
Quick Answer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Refrigerant Safety Warning Working with sealed refrigerant systems can expose you to pressurized refrigerant, which can cause frostbite, eye injury, and other harm. Wear safety glasses and protective gloves before piercing any line. Refrigerant handling may be regulated in your area — certain refrigerants require EPA certification (in the US) to purchase and handle. Never vent refrigerant to the atmosphere. This valve is NOT rated for R410a systems (too high pressure). If you're not experienced with refrigerant systems, have this work done by a qualified HVAC or appliance technician.
⚠️ Installation Steps — Clean the Line First Put on safety glasses and protective gloves. Identify the copper line you want to tap and confirm its outside diameter (1/4", 5/16", or 3/8") so you can select the correct included adapter. Clean the section of pipe where the valve will mount to prevent debris from entering the refrigerant line. Ensure the composite seal "O" ring/gasket is properly in place inside the valve. Place the two halves of the valve saddle around the pipe using the appropriate adapter insert for your pipe size. Install and evenly tighten the socket-head screws to clamp the valve body firmly around the pipe. To pierce the line, turn the valve stem clockwise with the included hex key until the needle punctures the tubing, then back the stem out (counterclockwise) to open the port and allow flow. To connect a gauge or charging hose: remove the cap, attach your hose to the 1/4" flare port, and open the valve by turning the stem counterclockwise. When finished, close the valve (turn the stem clockwise) BEFORE disconnecting the hose, then reinstall the protective cap. Note: the compact valve needs only 2" of clearance around the pipe. Tools needed: Included hex key wrench, safety glasses, protective gloves. (Note: to attach a gauge directly to the BPV, a retrofit valve adapter may be required — not included.)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bullet piercing valve used for?
A bullet piercing valve (line tap valve) lets you tap into a sealed copper refrigerant line to create an access port — without cutting, soldering, or brazing the line. Most household refrigerators and freezers are sealed systems with no factory service port, so if you need to check the refrigerant pressure, pull a vacuum, or add refrigerant, a piercing valve gives you that access quickly. It clamps around the pipe, and a needle pierces the tubing when you tighten the valve stem. It's commonly used in appliance repair and HVAC service, and by DIYers reviving a garage refrigerator or freezer that has lost its charge.
Which pipe sizes does this fit?
The BPV-31 fits 1/4", 5/16", and 3/8" outside diameter copper pipes using the included adapters. Before installing, measure or confirm your refrigerant line's outside diameter and select the matching adapter insert. Getting the size right is essential for a proper seal — an incorrectly sized adapter won't clamp tightly and can leak. If you're not sure of your line size, measure the outside diameter of the copper tubing with calipers or a pipe gauge.
Can I use this on an R410a system?
No — the BPV-31 is NOT rated for R410a refrigerant systems. R410a operates at significantly higher pressures than older refrigerants like R-12, R-22, and R-134a, and exceeds the safe working pressure of this valve (500 PSI max). Using it on an R410a system is unsafe and could result in valve failure or refrigerant release. This valve is appropriate for lower-pressure systems using R-12, R-22, R-134a, and similar refrigerants. For R410a systems, use service equipment specifically rated for R410a pressures.
Is a piercing valve a permanent solution?
Piercing valves are best thought of as a service-access tool rather than a permanent fixture. They work reliably for tapping into a line to diagnose, vacuum, or charge a system, and the BPV-31's patented gasket provides a much stronger seal than basic O-ring valves. However, for a long-term permanent service port, many technicians prefer to cut the line and braze in a proper Schrader service port. Some technicians have concerns about the very long-term sealing of any piercing valve left permanently on a line. If you leave the valve installed, make sure the stem is closed and the cap is in place, and check periodically for leaks.
Do I need EPA certification to add refrigerant?
In the United States, handling many refrigerants (and purchasing them) requires EPA Section 608 certification, and it is illegal to intentionally vent refrigerant to the atmosphere. Regulations vary by refrigerant type and jurisdiction. The piercing valve itself is a tool that anyone can install, but the refrigerant handling that follows may be regulated. If you're a DIYer, research the rules that apply to your specific refrigerant and location, or have the refrigerant work done by a certified technician. Always recover refrigerant properly rather than venting it.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket universal service tool built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. The BPV-31 is a universal industry-standard bullet piercing valve design (also sold as Supco BPV31 and equivalent), manufactured from corrosion-resistant zinc alloy to match the fit, 1/4"/5/16"/3/8" pipe compatibility, 1/4" flare port, 500 PSI rating, and patented-style sealing gasket of the standard BPV-31 line tap valve. It replaces AP4502525, BPV31D, GPV14, GPV31, GPV38, GPV56, and MPV31.
