Ikea Refrigerator Defrost Heater, Icing Kit, Fountain Heater

The Heater is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part prevents frost buildup by heating the evaporator coils during the defrost cycle. This part ensures that air flows freely over the coils, improving the efficiency of the cooling system and maintaining the refrigerator at the optimal temperature. 

Causes of a bad heater can include electrical failures, such as a blown fuse or a faulty wiring connection, or physical damage to the heater element itself.  

Symptoms of a bad Heater include:

• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator and freezer not maintaining the desired temperatures
• Increased energy consumption as the refrigerator works harder to cool
• Unusual noises from the refrigerator as the fan hits frost buildup

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Defrost Heater is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component is responsible for melting away frost and ice that accumulate on the evaporator coils during the refrigerator's cooling cycle. The defrost heater activates periodically, ensuring that air flow remains unrestricted and the refrigerator can efficiently maintain its set temperature. 

Causes for replacement can include a burnt-out heater element, damage to the wiring, or a malfunctioning thermostat that fails to initiate the defrost cycle. These issues can lead to reduced cooling efficiency, increased energy consumption, and potential spoilage of stored food due to fluctuating temperatures.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Heater include:

• Frost and ice accumulation on the evaporator coils beyond normal levels.
• The refrigerator or freezer sections are too warm due to blocked air flow.
• The refrigerator is cycling on more frequently or for longer durations

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

The Defrost Heater is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This heater turns on during the defrost cycle to melt the frost on the evaporator coils. If you need the defrost thermostat order WP4387490

Causes may include cracked heater elements reducing heat output or open circuit damage limiting functionality over time. 

Symptoms of a faulty heater involve:

• Periodic refrigerator odors
• Prolonged defrost cycles or remaining ice
• Frost and ice buildup beyond normal amounts

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.

The Defrost Heater is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part melts frost and ice that accumulate on the evaporator coils. 

Common causes of a bad defrost heater include electrical issues, wear and tear over time, or damage due to power surges. 

Symptoms of a bad defrost heater include:

• Frost or ice accumulation on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator or freezer not maintaining proper temperatures
• Water leakage inside the refrigerator
• The defrost cycle not activating

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The defrost heater melts frost off the evaporator coil during the automatic defrost cycle so cold air can circulate freely. Replacing a failed heater helps clear recurring ice buildup and restores stable refrigerator and freezer temperatures.

• Heats the evaporator to remove frost/ice during the defrost cycle
• Prevents airflow blockages to maintain consistent cooling
• Common symptoms: heavy frost behind the rear panel, fan noise from ice contact, weak cooling or warm spots, ice returning soon after manual defrost
• When the heater is open/burned out, frost accumulates on the coil and restricts airflow

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Safely defrost any heavy ice; do not chip at coils to avoid fin or tubing damage
• Route and secure wiring as original; reuse existing clips/brackets as required and keep leads clear of the fan
• After reassembly, ensure panels seal properly and the defrost drain path is clear for meltwater

The Heater is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool bottom-mount refrigerators. Located within the fresh food compartment walls, it prevents condensation by maintaining warm air circulation along interior surfaces. 

Causes of a bad heater include deterioration of heating coils or electronic boards over many years, loose connections disrupting power delivery, or damage from moisture exposure.

Symptoms include:

• Foggy or frosted exterior walls need frequent drying  
• Puddles of water collecting beneath vegetable drawers
• Musty odors developing within refrigerator shelves

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Kenmore, KitchenAid, and some GE models.

This fill tube heater keeps the ice maker's water inlet from freezing so your refrigerator can produce ice reliably. It applies gentle heat around the fill tube to help prevent ice blockages and water drips in the freezer.

• Warms the ice maker fill tube to help prevent freezing and ice buildup
• Helps maintain consistent water flow into the ice maker during fill
• Can address symptoms like no ice production, small/hollow cubes, or a frozen fill tube
• Reduces leaks at the fill spout caused by ice blockage

• Unplug the refrigerator and turn off the water supply before servicing.
• Defrost any ice in the fill tube area; avoid sharp tools that can puncture plastic.
• Route and secure the heater along the fill tube as originally installed; avoid pinching wires.
• Ensure the electrical connector is fully seated, then restore power and verify ice maker operation.
