Crosley Defrost Heater, Icing Kit, Fountain Heater

The defrost heater warms the evaporator during automatic defrost to melt frost so air can circulate freely. Replacing a failed heater helps stop heavy ice buildup, restore cooling performance, and prevent fan noise from ice contact.

• Clears frost from the evaporator so cold air can move between compartments
• Helps maintain stable temperatures and efficient cooling
• Common symptoms of a failed heater: thick frost on the back freezer panel, poor cooling, or fan scraping ice
• Electric resistance element that often tests open (no continuity) when failed

• Disconnect power before servicing; do not work on a live appliance
• Remove freezer shelves/drawers and the rear panel to access the evaporator and heater
• Allow ice to thaw; handle fins and tubing carefully to avoid damage
• Route wiring and clips as originally installed and ensure tight electrical connections before reassembly

This defrost heater assembly melts frost from the evaporator during the defrost cycle to keep air flowing and maintain consistent temperatures. Replacing a failed heater helps restore proper cooling performance and prevents excessive frost buildup.

• Heats the evaporator coil during defrost to clear ice and frost
• Helps resolve symptoms like heavy frost/ice on the evaporator, poor cooling, or warm fridge/cold freezer imbalance
• Can address frequent evaporator fan icing or blocked air passages

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow any ice to thaw safely
• Access is typically behind the rear panel of the freezer compartment
• Handle the heater and wiring carefully; avoid bending or stressing terminals
• Verify proper placement of any clips/shields and wiring connections match original

This defrost heater mounts at the evaporator and melts frost during the automatic defrost cycle to keep airflow clear and temperatures steady. Replace it if ice builds up on the freezer wall or the refrigerator section warms.

• Heats the evaporator during defrost to clear frost and ice
• Restores normal airflow between freezer and fresh food compartments
• Common symptoms: frost/ice on back freezer panel, warm refrigerator section, longer run times
• Can prevent fan noise or blockage caused by ice around the evaporator

• Disconnect power and remove the freezer rear panel to access the evaporator
• Handle the heater carefully and avoid damaging the evaporator fins
• Route wires and secure the heater exactly like the original, reusing any clips/brackets
• Restore power and verify defrost operation; if frost returns, check the defrost thermostat and control

Radiant Glass (Quartz), Length (Approx) - 20-1/4, 450 watts

This 12-inch defrost heater melts frost and ice from the evaporator so your refrigerator can run efficiently and keep food at the proper temperature. It replaces a failed heater to restore normal automatic defrost cycles. What it does:

• Warms the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle to remove frost and ice buildup
• Helps prevent reduced cooling and frost accumulation on the evaporator
• Commonly used when the freezer/back wall has visible ice or when defrost cycles fail
• Works with the fridge's existing defrost control/timer and thermostat to clear ice safely

• One 12-inch defrost heater

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repairs
• Access usually requires removal of the evaporator cover; handle the evaporator and wiring carefully
• Verify correct heater orientation and secure connections; do not force or kink the element

This radiant defrost heater melts ice build-up on the evaporator coil so your refrigerator can maintain proper airflow and cooling. It restores normal defrost operation and helps prevent excessive frost accumulation. What it does:

• Radiant heating element designed to melt frost and ice from the evaporator coil during the defrost cycle
• Restores airflow and consistent cooling when the evaporator has been restricted by ice
• Common symptom: visible frost or ice on evaporator or in freezer compartment
• Common symptom: poor or uneven cooling, longer run times, or a freezer that cycles abnormally

• One radiant defrost heater (single unit as shown)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock risk
• Access typically requires removing the evaporator cover; handle evaporator fins and heater carefully
• Inspect defrost thermostat/thermistor and defrost control components while replacing the heater — replace only the failed components

This heater and thermostat assembly replaces the dryer's heating module to restore normal drying performance by regulating and producing heat. It's a direct-fit assembly designed to simplify replacement and reduce diagnosis time. What it does:

• Provides the dryer's primary heating element and temperature control components.
• Regulates operating temperature via built-in thermostats/thermal cutouts.
• Stops heating when a thermostat or thermal cutoff opens, which can cause no-heat or under-heating symptoms.
• Helps address common symptoms like no heat, long dry times, or intermittent heating when diagnosed to this assembly.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting service to avoid shock or injury.
• Carefully discharge any residual heat and avoid contact with sharp sheet metal and the heating element.
• Inspect and replace any blown thermal fuses or damaged wiring.
• Follow model-specific instructions and torque/electrical guidelines from the OEM during installation.
