What's included: One thaw heater Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
- Access typically requires removing interior panels and the evaporator cover; handle the evaporator and wiring carefully
- Inspect associated defrost components (thermostat, timer/control) if problems persist; replace only parts confirmed faulty

The fan in the lower draw was not working Michael K. • Trinity , FL • February 16, 2025
I replaced the fan and heater element. The replacement was not an exact match. I had to adjust the parts to get the harness to fit the plug was not the correct size. I cut it off and used the existing plug. Not a big deal and everything else fit. Pretty good for a twenty year old replacement. Also the heater element was a different shape but it fit as is.

The back wall of my freezer was frozen but working and the bottom or fridge section was not cold Paula S. • St. Louis , MO • July 09, 2017
Well my reliable handyman brother told me he fixed his fridge, as he had same problem. Freezer working but fridge warm. He suggested I order Defrost Heater Kit. I looked it up on your website and found part but noticed Defrost Thermostat as well. So I ordered both. Anyhow he installed the thermostat only. Fridge is cooling. We did not install Defrost Heater Kit. Gonna see if we even need to? So far so good with just the thermostat. We'll be watching to see if back wall freezes up again.
