Turn off auto defrost?
I have a 10.1 Whirlpool residential refrigerator. Is there a way to disable the defrost mode temporary?

There is no way. The defrost is controlled by the circuit board and is an internal part. Just don't open the doors as much. The defrost is set to either go every 8 or 12 hours of compressor run time so not that often.
Assuming there really is no way, or it is otherwise impractical, why not disrupt the controlled circuit directly. Find the wires going to the defrost heating element and switch those directly. No need to mess with the circuit board at all. I believe most have open loop logic and merely operate on timed cycles. A closed loop system might present additional challenges. Am I missing something?
