Description

This sheath-style defrost heater warms the evaporator during the automatic defrost cycle to clear frost and keep air moving. Replacing a failed heater helps stop ice buildup on the evaporator and restores stable refrigerator temperatures.

• Heats the evaporator coil to melt accumulated frost/ice during defrost
• Helps maintain airflow for consistent cooling performance
• Typical failure symptoms include heavy frost on the back panel/evaporator, weak airflow, warmer-than-normal temperatures, or fan noise from ice contact
• Can contribute to repeat icing shortly after a manual defrost if open or damaged

What's included: One sheath heater Installation notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access is typically behind the freezer/evaporator cover; fully defrost any ice before removal
• Reuse existing brackets, clips, or insulation as required; make secure electrical connections
• Do not kink or sharply bend the element; inspect related defrost components
