The RUUD Defrost Relay is an essential component of a circuit that controls the defrost cycle of the refrigerator. It signals when defrosting is needed to protect the compressor from overheating. When the refrigerator temperature and the automatic-defrost switches sense that frost has accumulated on the evaporator, the Defrost Relay will be triggered and de-energize one of the two freezer fans until that defrost cycle has completed. The RUUD Defrost Relay is located in a "basket" which must be replaced as an assembly.

The Ruud Defrost Relay is used for regulating the defrost cycle of a refrigerator and is constructed with metal to resist corrosion.
