Whirlpool ATR1252RPP0 Defrost Sensor Board
The defrost control board is jobbed with determining when to begin the defrost cycle which may be necessary to keep the outdoor unit free from frost build-up. The defrost sensor board is relayed information from a sensor which is near the condenser somewhere, in order to decide when to initiate the defrosting cycle.
Key signs of a worsening defrost sensor board
- The main circuit board may throw a particular error code produced by a bad defrost control board
- Most systems will end up not running for the fact of the safety issue that the frost poses
- Defrost mode will not kick in despite the fact that there is a lot of frost on the unit
