Whirlpool ATE1255CPP0 Defrost Sensor Board
The defrost sensor board commences an important defrosting cycle which may be necessary to get rid of the frost that collects on the outdoor unit. It is influenced by a specific sensor located in the outdoor unit to verify when to initiate the defrosting cycle.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my defrost board has to be replaced?
- The AC may stop running due in part to frost blocking the fins on the outside unit
- The control board could throw a specific error code produced by a failing defrost board
- Defrost mode will not kick in even though there is a large amount of frost in the way

If you are going to be buying or ordering do your best and double check the model number as well as make a visual inspection in order to be sure the proper replacement defrost sensor board is being ordered. There is no rule that says you have to install the replacement part alone. Look for a professional in your town or city to hire and install the part for you.
