Jack F. for Model Number TFX26KPDAWW I completely defrosted my GE TFX26KPDAWW freezer. I replaced the heater assembly WR51X10055. I plugged the refrigerator in and now the freezer will not produce any cold air. With the broken heater assembly unit in place it was producing cold air, but eventually the coils were icing up. Why would replacing the heater unit cause the freezer to not produce cold air as before?
