Lg Refrigerator Defrost Heater, Icing Kit, Fountain Heater

The Freezer Defrost Heater is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in the defrost system by melting any frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils. This helps maintain the efficiency of the cooling system and ensures the freezer operates properly.

Over time, the defrost heater can wear out or fail due to continuous heating and cooling cycles, electrical issues, or physical damage. Causes of a bad defrost heater include burnouts, electrical faults, and accumulation of frost that hinders its functionality.

Symptoms of a bad freezer defrost heater include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• The freezer not maintaining the set temperature
• The refrigerator running continuously or cycling more frequently
• Water leaks inside the freezer from melting ice

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

This sheath heater assembly supplies the heating element used to warm air in the dryer, restoring proper drying performance when the original element fails. It's a direct-replacement part that fits into the dryer's heater housing. What it does:

• Heats incoming air so the dryer can remove moisture from clothes
• Replaces a damaged or open heating element that prevents the dryer from producing heat
• Addresses symptoms like no heat, long drying times, or intermittent heating
• Works with the dryer's thermostats and safety devices to regulate temperature

• Disconnect power (and gas supply if applicable) before beginning work
• Allow the appliance to cool and drain any stored energy before touching internal components
• Handle the heater carefully to avoid bending or damaging the element or terminals
• Check thermostats, thermal fuses, and wiring for related faults when replacing the heater

This sheathed defrost heater mounts at the evaporator and melts frost during the automatic defrost cycle to restore airflow and stable temperatures. Replacing a failed heater helps prevent ice-clogged coils, warm spots, and noisy fan interference.

• Melts frost from the evaporator coil during the defrost cycle to maintain proper airflow
• Symptoms of failure: persistent ice on the back panel, weak cooling, or the evaporator fan striking ice
• A failed heater can cause long run times and temperature swings
• Replace if the element tests open/short or shows visible damage

• Disconnect power before service; allow components to warm to reduce risk of cracking brittle plastics
• Remove shelves and the evaporator cover; carefully defrost ice—do not chip or pry against the fins
• Transfer original clips/insulators if present; route wires as original and make firm electrical connections
• After reassembly, ensure the drain area is clear and the fan spins freely
