Hello. I’m new to this forum.
I recently ordered part# 104472411 (Defrost Thermostat) for my used Amana. I’m not sure of it’s age, but it’s older.
The diagram page matched perfectly, and the pic of the thermostat appeared at first glance to be identical. But when I went to install it after it arrived, the terminal plug for the brown wire was different, and it won’t fit.
I contacted the online help chat, and confirmed the model and part number were correct. But the rep said it was a remanufactured part that is "supposed to fit" this model. But it doesn’t.
I guess I can try to splice the wire from the old thermostat and see if that works. But then I won’t be able to return it if that solution fails.
What should I do? I need my fridge!
Thank you.
