Parts for White Westinghouse WRT8G3EW9: 09 - System Parts

Includes service line.

This defrost heater warms the evaporator coil during the automatic defrost cycle to melt frost and ice, restoring airflow and consistent temperatures. Replace a failed heater to stop recurring frost buildup and uneven cooling. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator to clear frost/ice so air can circulate
• Helps maintain stable refrigerator and freezer temperatures
• Symptoms include heavy frost on the back freezer panel or coils, poor cooling, evaporator fan noise from ice contact, or frost returning soon after a manual defrost

• 1 defrost heater

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Remove freezer shelves and the rear interior panel to access the evaporator area
• Transfer the heater into the original clips/brackets and route wiring exactly as original, away from sharp edges and the fan
• If frost returns after replacement, also test the defrost thermostat and the defrost control

• With power disconnected, the heater should show continuity on an ohmmeter; an open circuit indicates a failed element

This genuine replacement part is an evaporator used in refrigerators. The evaporator is the part that exchanges heat to cool the refrigerator. It is the component of the refrigerator that absorbs the heat from the air inside, turning it cool through absorption. If the refrigerator is no longer cooling properly, this could mean it's time for a new evaporator.This is a genuine replacement evaporator compatible with Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Westinghouse brand refrigerators.

This aluminum strap secures the defrost heater firmly against the evaporator coil to maintain proper contact during defrost. Correct contact improves heat transfer so frost melts evenly and helps prevent recurring ice buildup on the evaporator.

• Secures the defrost heater to the evaporator for proper contact and heat transfer
• Promotes complete, even defrosting across the evaporator coil
• Helps reduce repeat frost/ice accumulation caused by a shifted or loose heater
• Typical clues include a loose heater, uneven frost pattern, or rattling near the evaporator

• Disconnect power and allow ice to melt before accessing the evaporator
• Use care around sharp fins and fragile refrigerant tubing; do not puncture or deform the coil
• Position the heater per your model's parts diagram and tighten the strap for firm, even contact
• Verify wiring is routed clear of the fan and moving parts before reassembly

This drain trough directs defrost water from the evaporator to the refrigerator drain, helping prevent pooling, leaks and ice build-up in the fresh-food compartment. A correct trough keeps defrost water flowing and reduces odors or floor damage. What it does:

• Channels defrost/condensate water from the evaporator to the drain system
• Prevents water pooling under shelves or in the crisper area
• Reduces ice buildup and attendant leaks when the drain path is clear
• Replace if cracked, warped, or if water is collecting where it shouldn't

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Remove interior shelves/drawers as needed to access the trough
• Clean the drain channel and clear any debris before installing the new trough
• Make sure the trough is fully seated and aligned so water drains properly; follow OEM fastener/placement points

This foam insulation block helps fill gaps and reduce heat transfer inside the refrigerator cabinet to maintain proper cooling and reduce frost/condensation. It restores the designed insulation barrier where the original piece is damaged or missing. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or missing foam block that seals internal gaps in the cabinet or behind panels
• Helps prevent warm air infiltration that can cause poor cooling or excess frost
• Reduces condensation and moisture buildup around the evaporator area or panel seams
• Supports consistent temperature performance by restoring insulation continuity

• One foam insulation block

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Access location may require removing interior panels or shelves; handle panels and clips carefully
• Install in the exact position and orientation of the original part; use any existing adhesive or fasteners as required
• If adhesive is needed, use only appliance-safe adhesives compatible with foam and follow manufacturer guidance

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component plays a crucial role in regulating the defrost cycle, which is responsible for removing any built-up frost or ice from the freezer compartment.

Symptoms that may indicate the need to replace the defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost or ice buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator not maintaining proper temperature levels
• The defrost cycle failing to initiate or complete properly

Causes of a faulty defrost thermostat can include normal wear and tear over time, electrical malfunctions, or exposure to extreme temperatures or moisture.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore refrigerator models.
