Samsung Refrigerator TL26ERUD Parts

This drain heater assembly warms the evaporator drain to prevent ice build-up and allow proper defrost water flow. Use it to restore normal drainage and reduce water pooling or frost forming inside the freezer section. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator drain area to melt ice that can block defrost water flow
• Helps prevent water pooling and icing under the evaporator or in the freezer
• Supports reliable defrost cycle drainage for consistent refrigerator operation
• Reduces risk of water leakage due to clogged or frozen drain lines

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning work
• Handle wiring and connectors carefully; route harness away from sharp edges and moving parts
• Verify correct seating of the heater near the drain pan and secure any clips or fasteners
• Test defrost/drain function after reassembly and restore power
