Electrolux Refrigerator Defrost Heater, Icing Kit, Fountain Heater

The Defrost Heater is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in the refrigerator's defrost cycle, melting away any frost that accumulates on the evaporator coils.

Causes of a bad Defrost Heater can include a burnt-out heating element, electrical issues such as faulty wiring, or a malfunctioning thermostat that fails to activate the heater when needed.

Symptoms of a failing Defrost Heater include:

• Buildup of frost or ice on the evaporator coils despite regular defrost cycles
• Increasingly warmer temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer compartments
• The refrigerator cycling on and off more frequently than usual
• Unusual noises from ice buildup that affects the fan

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Defrost Heater is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component is responsible for melting away frost and ice that accumulate on the evaporator coils during the refrigerator's cooling cycle. The defrost heater activates periodically, ensuring that air flow remains unrestricted and the refrigerator can efficiently maintain its set temperature. 

Causes for replacement can include a burnt-out heater element, damage to the wiring, or a malfunctioning thermostat that fails to initiate the defrost cycle. These issues can lead to reduced cooling efficiency, increased energy consumption, and potential spoilage of stored food due to fluctuating temperatures.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Heater include:

• Frost and ice accumulation on the evaporator coils beyond normal levels.
• The refrigerator or freezer sections are too warm due to blocked air flow.
• The refrigerator is cycling on more frequently or for longer durations

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

The Defrost Heater is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators, playing a critical role in the appliance's defrost system. This component is designed to melt away frost and ice that accumulate on the evaporator coils, ensuring that air can flow freely and the appliance maintains optimal cooling efficiency.

Causes of failure might include a burnt-out heating element, damage to the heater's electrical connections, or a malfunction in the control system that fails to activate the heater during the defrost cycle. 

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Heater include:

• Frost build-up on the evaporator coils, leading to reduced cooling efficiency.
• The freezer or refrigerator compartment is too warm.
• The appliance is constantly running in an attempt to maintain the set temperature.
• Pools of water or ice on the floor of the freezer compartment due to incomplete defrosting.

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

The Defrost Heater is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is an electric heating element located within the back wall and along the evaporator coil compartment. The heater defrost works to melt any accumulated frost or ice during refrigeration defrost cycles. 

Causes of a bad defrost heater include failure of the heating coil or wiring over time due to regular use. Moisture exposure can also degrade insulation and connections.

Symptoms of a bad defrost heater include: 

• Ice buildup inside the refrigerator that does not melt   
• Inability to maintain proper cooling temperatures
• Frost accumulating externally on refrigerator coils
• Unusual smells emanating from within the appliance 

This OEM Frigidaire replacement defrost heater restores automatic defrost capabilities. Compatible with some Electrolux, Roper, and Kenmore models as well, regular replacements prevent defrost issues.

This factory heater restores controlled heat in the appliance's heating or defrost circuit so cycles complete correctly and performance returns to normal. Replacing a failed heater helps resolve temperature-related issues and reduces extended run times. What it does:

• Generates heat for the unit's designed function (wash/dry assist or defrost), depending on model
• A failed element can cause no heat, extended cycles, or temperature-related error codes
• Result in dishes staying wet or detergent not dissolving (dishwashers)
• Lead to frost/ice accumulation that doesn't melt during defrost (refrigeration)
• Often tests open (no continuity) when defective

• 1 heater

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off water supply if applicable
• Access and mounting vary by model—refer to the product's service information
• Note wire positions; make firm, original-style connections and avoid stressing terminals
• After reassembly, run a test and check for leaks where the heater passes through the tub (if applicable)

This dispenser heater kit warms the dispenser area to help prevent ice build-up and keep the water/ice dispenser operating reliably. Replaces a failed heater assembly to restore proper dispenser function. What it does:

• Heats the dispenser chute/valve area to reduce frost and ice clogging
• Helps restore reliable water or ice dispensing when the dispenser intermittently freezes
• Prevents repeated thaw cycles that can cause leaks or inconsistent dispense flow
• Works as the direct replacement heater component used in the dispenser assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work
• Access may require removing the dispenser housing or control panel
• Handle electrical connections carefully and secure wiring per OEM routing
