Ice build up in top freezer of refrigerator Kevin S. • Mission Viejo , CA • May 13, 2015
After watching numerous videos I was able to discern that the problem was with one of the following: the timer, the heater, or the thermostat. a short time check showed me that the timer was working so that narrowed it down to the other two. Not having the necessary tools to check those two I ordered both parts. Once the parts came and I took out the old parts it was quite evident that it was the heater since it had black burn marks on it. I decided to install the thermostat also since it...

Ice "lava flow" inside the freezer Kenneth C. • Alamo , CA • February 01, 2018
Firstly, the Ice Door had a kink in the edge, which caused it to stay open and create lots of frost on the coils. $5.00 part, highly recommend it. (By the way, the new door was little too big and it too stay propped open and left a gap so I had to trim the top edge of the rubber with scissors to get it to fully close.) Secondly, there are two heaters for the defrost cycle, one that goes around the coils and another attached to a collector pan beneath the coils. When the cycle hits, those...

Defrost cycle was not working frost in the freezer department Charles B. • Yorktown Hts. , NY • September 19, 2014
First replaced defrost timer which tested OK - but reasonable price and easy to replace. When that did not fix the problem replaced the defrost thermostat and defrost heater. That fixed the problem. However all three parts tested OK ?? May have been a loose connection or intermittent problem with one of the parts. Final cost for all three parts was much cheaper than a service call!!

This is a small heating element that wraps around or sits near the ice maker fill tube to prevent water from freezing inside the tube between fill cycles. It keeps the pathway clear so water can flow freely into the ice maker mold. Replace this heater if the fill tube is clogged with ice, the ice maker stops producing ice, or you notice water backing up and leaking near the fill tube area.

Warm fridge freezer not defrosting. Jason L. • Penfield , NY • July 06, 2020
IMPORTANT: Defrost heater was more difficult to install around the evaporator coils than the APP installation videos show, but it can be installed. See below.
FIRST: Unplug the fridge/freezer!
I tested the thermostat, mechanical defrost timer, and the defrost heater with a ohmmeter and determined that the heater was bad.
NOTE: Thermostat must be cold in order to be tested; otherwise, the switch inside won't close and you won't get a reading from the ohmmeter. Take a can of compressed air,...

The freezer section of an amana bci20tw was not getting cold enough and the back panel in the freezer was covered in ice Jeff H. • Gettysburg , PA • January 27, 2025
After doing some research, I guessed it was either a faulty defrost timer, defrost thermostat, defrost heater, or some combination of those. Using part location diagrams for my Amana BC120TW I started by looking for the evaporator coils since they obviously weren't producing enough cold. Upon removing the evaporator coil cover, I found the evaporator coils frozen into 1 solid block of ice. Using a heat gun, I carefully defrosted the coils so I could access the defrost thermostat and heater...

Freezer coils iced up and holding temperature Tracy A. • Mount Vernon , WA • August 24, 2026
Replaced defrost heater assembly. Got the right part in very reasonable time for a reasonable price. Super easy to install, and the best part is that it came with the correct pin connector for the original wiring harness already assembled. (getting the original pin connector out of the wiring harness plug sucks) Freezer now operates correctly.

Refrigerator freezer was working but was not getting cold on the refrigerator side Tim W. • Sanford , NC • September 13, 2015
Replaced the defrost heater, Temp sensor, and defrost thermostat. I'm pretty sure the defrost heater was the only faulty part, but I replaced the other parts to be safe. Took me about 20 minutes start to finish. I know the defrost heater was bad because it failed the continuity test.
Parts were delivered within 3 days! This is the second time using Appliancepartspros.com and I will not go anywhere else.
Thank you!
