I then searched for the replacement part to find that Amana discontinued the part after...

Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: W11650662
This heater harness assembly delivers power from the refrigerator wiring to the defrost/evaporator heater, restoring proper defrost cycles and helping prevent frost buildup that can reduce cooling performance. What it does:
- Routes electrical power to the evaporator/defrost heater so scheduled defrost cycles can run.
- Replaces a damaged or burned harness that can cause the heater to not energize.
- Commonly used when frost or ice accumulates on the evaporator, cooling is reduced, or defrost-related errors occur.
- Compatible with refrigerators that use the OEM-style heater connector configuration.
What's included: One heater harness assembly. Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
- Avoid damaging refrigerant lines or other sealed-system components; if the repair requires access to sealed components or involves the refrigerant (R600a/isobutane).
- Inspect mating connectors and wiring for corrosion or damage; replace any compromised components to ensure a reliable connection.
