Description
The Defrost Heater Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is designed to heat the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle, melting any accumulated ice or frost. This helps maintain proper airflow and prevents the coils from freezing over, allowing your refrigerator to cool normally.
A bad defrost heater assembly can occur due to electrical issues, component failure, or damage to the heater itself. If you notice symptoms such as excessive frost or ice buildup in the freezer, inconsistent cooling, or water pooling at the bottom of the refrigerator, it may indicate a need to replace the defrost heater assembly.
Symptoms of a bad defrost heater assembly include:
- Excessive frost or ice buildup in the freezer
- Inconsistent cooling
- Water pooling at the bottom of the refrigerator
Restore your refrigerator by replacing the faulty defrost heater assembly with this genuine OEM part.
This GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
