Description

This defrost heater melts frost and ice buildup on the evaporator coil so the refrigerator or freezer can maintain proper airflow and cooling. Restores normal defrost function when the heater is the failed component. What it does

• Heats the evaporator coil during the defrost cycle to remove accumulated frost and ice.
• Helps restore normal airflow and temperature control when frost is blocking the evaporator.
• Commonly installed when evaporator frost/ice builds up, the appliance runs constantly, or cooling is reduced.
• Works with the appliance's defrost control/timer and thermostat to run only during defrost cycles.

What's included

• One defrost heater (1) — heater element only unless otherwise specified on your order.

Install notes

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Access the evaporator by removing the freezer/refrigerator evaporator cover; handle the heater element and evaporator fins carefully to avoid damage.
• Follow OEM service instructions for routing and securing the heater; verify related components (thermostat, defrost control/timer) if the problem persists.
