Hi,

I purchased a defrost thermostat from repair ************ and testing it upon arrival (placing it in ice and testing for continuity with a multimeter) and it showed no needle movement. Is it possible that it arrived dead or am I doing something wrong?

Yes it could be bad right out of the box.

I cannot say if you are doing something wrong.

Perhaps you did not hold it on the ice long enough.
Did you short the meter leads together before measuring just to be sure your meter was OK.

Looking at the part on AppliancePartsPros it should open at 47 and then re-close at 25 degrees F.
