Description

The Defrost Heater is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is designed to melt frost and ice buildup from the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle, ensuring that your refrigerator operates efficiently and maintains the proper temperature. This heater prevents excessive frost accumulation, which can impair cooling performance.

Causes of a bad defrost heater can include wear and tear over time, electrical issues such as short circuits or blown fuses, and physical damage from handling or impact. When the defrost heater fails, frost and ice can build up, leading to cooling issues.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Heater include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator not maintaining the correct temperature
• The defrost cycle not activating
• Water leakage inside the refrigerator

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