Supco SL2697 Defrost Thermostat

Product Description

The SUPCO SL2697 is a defrost thermostat designed to regulate the defrost cycle in refrigeration systems. It monitors evaporator coil temperature and interrupts the defrost heater circuit once the coil reaches the cutout temperature, preventing overheating and protecting system components. This part is typically installed by refrigeration technicians and appliance service professionals working on residential and light commercial refrigeration equipment.

The SL2697 is suited for use in refrigerators and freezers where precise defrost cycle control is required. It serves as a direct replacement component in systems that rely on a bimetal-style defrost thermostat to terminate the defrost heater at the appropriate coil temperature. Installers working on a range of residential refrigeration units will find this a practical service part.

Key Features

• Terminates defrost heater circuit at setpoint coil temperature to prevent overheating
• Bimetal thermostat construction for reliable temperature-activated switching
• Designed for drop-in replacement in residential and light commercial refrigeration applications
• Compact form factor suitable for evaporator coil mounting

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement defrost thermostat for residential and light commercial refrigeration systems requiring a bimetal defrost thermostat.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance technician or refrigeration service professional. Disconnect power to the refrigeration unit completely before accessing the evaporator compartment or removing the existing thermostat. The thermostat is typically clipped or secured directly to the evaporator coil, and lead wires should be connected per the original wiring configuration. Refer to the unit's service manual for the correct mounting location and wiring diagram.
