No defrost and a frozen-over evaporator coil
A thermal fuse is a one-shot safety cut-out. On frost free fridges it is normally wired into the defrost heater circuit and mounted near the evaporator, where it opens permanently if the temperature passes its 73 degree rating. Once it opens, the defrost heater never comes on again, so ice keeps growing over the coil. The fridge section then warms up, the freezer fan may scrape on ice, and water can drip from the base. Because the fuse blows for a reason, also check the defrost thermostat and timer or control before refitting the panel.

Testing and fitting the fuse
Unplug the fridge and clear the freezer before removing the back panel. With a multimeter, a good thermal fuse shows continuity and a blown one reads open. Photograph how the old fuse is clipped to the coil and connected, then fit the new assembly in exactly the same place so it senses the right temperature. Let all the ice melt before powering up again.
Questions about this part
Why did my thermal fuse blow?
A thermal fuse usually opens because the defrost heater ran too long or too hot, often from a stuck defrost thermostat or a control fault. Check those parts too, or the new fuse may blow again.
