Description

This replacement defrost heater warms the freezer's evaporator area during the automatic defrost cycle. It melts accumulated frost so air can circulate, helping maintain stable temperatures and preventing ice buildup on the back wall.

• Heats the evaporator to clear frost and ice during defrost
• Helps keep airflow passages and the defrost drain path open
• Common symptoms of a failed heater: heavy frost on the back panel/coils, poor cooling or warm sections, fan noise from ice contact, cooling returns temporarily after a manual defrost
• Typically located behind the rear freezer panel

What's included: 1 defrost heater Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the evaporator by removing the freezer's rear panel; thaw heavy ice before removal
• Transfer any clips/brackets and route wires exactly as original, keeping them away from plastic parts
• After installation, ensure wiring connections are secure and the heater is not contacting plastic surfaces
