This defrost heater warms the evaporator during automatic defrost to melt built-up frost so air can move freely and temperatures stay consistent. Replace a failed heater to restore normal cooling and end recurring frost on the freezer panel.

• Melts ice from the evaporator coil during the defrost cycle
• Prevents frost buildup that restricts airflow and causes warm spots
• Helps maintain stable refrigerator and freezer temperatures
• Typical failure signs: heavy frost on the back wall, reduced cooling, fan noise from ice contact, frequent manual defrosting

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access through the freezer compartment; remove shelves/ice bin and rear panel to reach the evaporator
• Match wire connections and route leads exactly as original; keep wiring clear of the fan and sharp edges
• After reassembly, restore power and monitor a defrost cycle; if frost quickly returns, also evaluate the defrost thermostat and control

This compressor overload is the thermal protector for your refrigerator's compressor. It opens the circuit when the motor overheats or draws excessive current, helping prevent damage and restoring reliable starts when the original protector fails.

• Interrupts power to protect the compressor during overheat or overcurrent conditions
• If failed, symptoms include: compressor won't start, repeated clicking or brief hum then stop, warm refrigerator/freezer, and an unusually hot compressor shell
• A weak protector may trip repeatedly and reset after cooling, causing intermittent cooling
• Works in tandem with the start relay/device to manage compressor startup current

• Disconnect power before servicing and pull the unit forward for rear access
• Remove the rear cover; note wire positions and take a photo for reference
• Pull the old overload straight off the compressor terminal; transfer leads and firmly seat the new overload in the same orientation

This is a replacement screw designed to work with a wide range of household appliances. It is used for many purposes in these appliances, from holding body panels together to securing electronics into control boards. However, screws are subject to damage through corrosion, impact, and improper installation/removal. In most cases, the primary damage to this screw is through corrosion – it may become rusted or corroded in place, depending on the appliance and the maintenance provided during its lifespan. The screw may also be stripped or rounded due to improper removal or installation. If the screw is damaged, lost, or corroded in place, it will need to be replaced. In most cases, removal will require nothing more than a Phillips head screwdriver or the appropriately sized socket with a ratchet. However, if the screw is damaged, it may require a tap set to remove it from its mounting location. Note that this is a genuine OEM replacement screw made from durable, high-quality metal, and is sold individually. It fits Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, and Thermador appliances. It is used in over 150 machines, ranging from washers and dryers to air conditioners.
