Jack M. L for Model Number Hotpoint Refer Older than dirt. Hi Had to replace the Defroster elements last year May 2012 WR49X391 r for the first time ever in the 40 plus years I owned it. Then last week one of the elements burned out so we did it again. What would cause them to only last one year? And How can I set the refergerator to have less problems. Have these units last longer? Thanks Jack
