Description

This defrost heater melts frost and ice build-up on the evaporator to restore normal airflow and cooling. Replacing a failed heater helps prevent recurring frost and improves temperature consistency in the freezer compartment. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator coil during the defrost cycle to remove accumulated frost and ice.
• Restores proper airflow and cooling when frost buildup is preventing normal operation.
• Common symptom: visible frost/ice on evaporator or evaporator cover.
• Common symptom: freezer running but cooling inconsistently or icing up.

What's included: One defrost heater element. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Inspect and replace only with the exact part number; handle the heater element carefully to avoid bending or damage.
• Reinstall evaporator cover and any seals; test a complete defrost cycle after replacement.
