Kitchenaid Defrost Heater, Icing Kit, Fountain Heater

This evaporator defrost heater melts frost from the freezer coils during the automatic defrost cycle to keep airflow unobstructed and temperatures stable. Replace it if frost quickly returns after manual defrost or cooling performance declines. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator at set intervals to clear frost/ice
• Restores proper airflow to maintain consistent cooling
• Common signs of failure include heavy frost on the rear freezer panel, weak airflow or warmer fresh food temps, longer run times, or the evaporator fan striking ice
• An open reading on a continuity test indicates a failed heater

• 1 evaporator defrost heater

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the heater behind the freezer's rear panel; it mounts at/under the evaporator
• Note wire routing and clip locations; transfer any reusable hardware from the original part
• Avoid bending the element or damaging evaporator fins; fully defrost ice before reassembly

This defrost heater assembly melts frost from the evaporator during the defrost cycle to keep air flowing and maintain consistent temperatures. Replacing a failed heater helps restore proper cooling performance and prevents excessive frost buildup.

• Heats the evaporator coil during defrost to clear ice and frost
• Helps resolve symptoms like heavy frost/ice on the evaporator, poor cooling, or warm fridge/cold freezer imbalance
• Can address frequent evaporator fan icing or blocked air passages

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow any ice to thaw safely
• Access is typically behind the rear panel of the freezer compartment
• Handle the heater and wiring carefully; avoid bending or stressing terminals
• Verify proper placement of any clips/shields and wiring connections match original

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.

Defrost heater melts frost and ice from the refrigerator's evaporator coils so the cooling system can run efficiently. Replacing a failed heater restores proper defrost cycles and helps prevent frost-related cooling issues. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator to melt accumulated frost and ice on the coils.
• Restores normal airflow and consistent temperatures when frost buildup reduces cooling performance.
• Common symptom linkage: visible frost or ice on the evaporator, long or continuous run cycles, or uneven/warmer compartments.
• Works with the defrost thermostat and control to complete the defrost cycle.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the evaporator or heater — always prioritize safety.
• Handle evaporator fins and the heater element carefully to avoid damage; follow OEM routing and attachment points.
• Verify heater continuity and inspect the defrost thermostat and control before and after replacement; replace any failed defrost components as needed.

This heater assembly provides the high heat source used to dry clothes faster by warming the air inside the dryer. It replaces a failed or damaged heating element to restore normal drying performance and temperature. What it does:

• Generates the heated air needed for effective drying
• Commonly replaced when dryer produces little or no heat
• Can cause tripped thermal cutoff or heating-circuit issues when failed

• One heater (heating element) assembly as shown

• Disconnect power before starting; this part involves live-voltage components
• Inspect associated thermostats, fuses, and wiring; replace faulty safety parts as required
• Handle the element carefully — edges may be sharp and terminals can be damaged by rough handling

This heater is the OEM-style heating-element assembly that restores normal heat in compatible appliances. It replaces a worn or failed element so the unit can heat reliably and complete cycles as designed. What it does:

• Converts electrical power into heat to warm the appliance cavity or drum
• Commonly used when the appliance no longer produces sufficient heat
• Can cause tripped breakers or extended run times if the element is burned or shorted
• Works as part of the appliance's heating system with thermostats and safety controls

• One heater

• Disconnect all power before replacing the heater to avoid electric shock
• Handle the element carefully to avoid bending or damaging terminals and mounting tabs
• After installation, restore power and test the appliance for correct heating and proper operation
