or,

"Apply (hold) a dishcloth soaked in hot water against
the thermostat capillary line and bracket, located on

lhe underside of the freezer compartmenL The heat
transfer from the dish cloth will cause a temperature

rise on the thermostat capillary, (sensing line)
causing the internal contacts to close., This will

resume normal operating conditions.
it may take several minutes and/or repeat
applications before the push button wlll release,

whenever ice build-up Inside the freezer
Compartment reaches 1/4" (6mm) thick,. Defrosting

may take a few hours, depending on the amount of
accumulated ice and ambient Indoor temperatu=:e. To
