Description

This defrost heater melts frost and ice from the evaporator to restore proper airflow and cooling in frost-prone refrigerators. It helps prevent heavy ice buildup that can reduce cooling efficiency and cause temperature problems. What it does:

• Warms the evaporator coil during the defrost cycle to remove accumulated frost and ice
• Restores normal airflow through the evaporator so the refrigerator can cool properly
• Common symptom: visible ice buildup on the evaporator or reduced cooling performance
• Common symptom: refrigerator runs longer than normal or fails to maintain set temperature

What's included:

• One defrost heater assembly

Install notes:

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock hazard
• Handle the evaporator and heater carefully to avoid damaging coils or wiring
• Verify continuity of the heater with a multimeter before and after installation
• If recurring icing occurs, inspect and test the defrost thermostat, timer, and control components
