Hotpoint Parts

This defrost heater and bracket assembly melts frost from the evaporator during the automatic defrost cycle, restoring airflow and stable temperatures so your refrigerator and freezer cool as designed. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator coil at set intervals to clear frost and ice
• Keeps air passages open for consistent temperatures and efficient cooling
• Helps prevent excessive run times and ice buildup on the freezer back wall
• Failure signs can include heavy frost accumulation, weak/uneven cooling, or fan noise from ice

• One defrost heater pre-mounted to its bracket

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the evaporator behind the freezer's rear panel; safely defrost built-up ice before removal
• Note/photograph wire routing and connections; transfer like-for-like
• Avoid damaging evaporator fins and ensure the heater sits in the original position without touching plastic components

This defrost heater kit warms the evaporator during the automatic defrost cycle to melt frost and keep air moving. Replace it when ice builds up on the freezer coils and temperatures rise or airflow is restricted.

• Heats the evaporator coil during defrost to clear accumulated frost/ice
• Helps maintain proper airflow and stable temperatures in both compartments
• Symptoms can include heavy frost on the back wall/evaporator cover, reduced cooling, or fan noise from ice contact
• A failed heater can leave the defrost system unable to clear ice, restricting airflow

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Access the heater behind the freezer's rear panel; safely remove heavy ice before replacement
• Move wires and clips one at a time, routing exactly like the original to avoid pinched or exposed conductors
• After replacement, monitor defrost operation; icing persists, also check the defrost thermostat and control

This replacement motor powers the dispenser's auger/crusher mechanism to move ice from the bucket to the chute. Replacing a weak or seized motor helps restore reliable cube or crushed-ice dispensing from the freezer door.

• Drives the ice auger/crusher to feed ice from the bucket through the dispenser chute
• Helps deliver cubes or crushed ice, depending on the control selection
• Common symptoms: no ice dispensing, auger not turning, loud humming or grinding, intermittent or weak dispensing
• Located in the freezer-door dispenser assembly and engages the ice bucket coupler

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the ice bucket and dispenser trim/panel to access the motor; note wire orientation and fasteners
• Transfer any mounting hardware or coupler from the old motor
• Reassemble, restore power, and test ice dispensing

Restore safety and appearance with this black oven door glass panel. It replaces cracked or shattered glass, bringing back a clear viewing window and the original finish when the exterior door glass has been damaged.

• Replaces damaged door glass to restore visibility and appearance
• Helps keep the door assembly secure when installed correctly
• Common symptoms: visible cracks, shattered/spidered glass, loose or rattling panel, cosmetic damage
• Color/finish: black

• Disconnect power and let the oven cool completely before starting
• Remove the door per your manual and place it on a padded surface
• Wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection; handle tempered glass carefully
• Transfer any handle/trim as required and reinstall without overtightening fasteners
