Suzie April 10, 2020 Removed the defrost part from the freezer, the blue end still works and the gold end is not working. Can you tell me which side runs the defrost timer? Can I order only the one we need and also one is at the top of coils and one under the bottom coils?
1 Answer Hello Suzie, I'm sorry but the defrost heater assembly WR51X443 comes as a complete assembly and the parts are not available individually. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
David April 20, 2018 for Model Number ge tph21pbsm ww I found a puddle of water in front of my refrigerator. there is ice on the bottom of the freezer. I just cleared the drain hole, and may be OK for now, but not sure what caused it. Several years ago I replaced the defrost heater which was bad. I'm not sure if I should test the timer, remove the panel and check heaters or what. Thanks
1 Answer Hello David, You should check the unit by forcing it into defrost and removing the rear wall from inside the freezer compartment. If it needs to be defrosted, you may need to replace the defrost heater harness assembly WR51X443 and set the freezer compartment to a warmer setting to allow the defrost water to completely drain out of the drain before getting too cold. The freezer temperature should run between 0°F and 10 °F. Read More...
Bob December 04, 2017 for Model Number TFX25CRYDWW FREEZER COILS ARE FREEZING UP. TOP HEATER ELEMENT GLOWS BRIGHTLY AND PRODUCES STRONG HEAT. LOWER ELEMENT PRODUCES MUCH LESS HEAT WITH A VERY WEAK GLOW. BOTH HEATERS SHOW CONTINUITY ON MULTIMETER. i TURNED DEFROST TIMER MANUALLY AND HEATERS COME ON AFTER I HEAR THE CLICK. SHOULD BOTH ELEMENTS PRODUCE THE SAME HEAT AND BRIGHTNESS. IS THIS NORMAL. IF NOT, WHAT PARTS DO I NEED
1 Answer Bob, The defrost heaters are different wattages and will not produce the same amount of heat, or glow the same amount. If the defrost thermostat has a closed circuit when the evaporator coils are iced over, and since the heaters do glow and produce heat, you most likely have a faulty defrost timer, based on the information you supplied.

Valerie October 08, 2017 for Model Number TFX25JPCGWW The model no. on the door (paper) of my GE side by side only has TFX25JP. The owners manual has 11-98 CG on front bottom right so I thought that must be the rest of the number "CG" and of course WW for white. The diagram with the manual shows two heaters and part replacement number WR51X0443 for Defrost Heater & Harness. However when I put that model number in (TFX25JPCGWW) it is not this heater but takes me to a single heater. If by chance it is actually "CC" and not "CG" then this one is correct. There is also what might be a serial no. 197D1071P036.
1 Answer Hello Valerie, for your model number you can order just the defrost heater replacement part number WR51X10055 or you can get it with the harness that includes the defrost thermostat WR51X10029. Thanks! Read More...
Liz Lambert August 24, 2017 Hi, my freezer was working fine but the refrigerator would not go below 60 degrees. When we realized the coils in the freezer were covered with ice and frost, I replaced the defrost heater and thermostat (using part number AP2071465, ordered here). When started up again, the fridge worked great for a couple of weeks. Now, the fridge is back up to 60 degrees and the coils are starting to ice over. (They are mostly iced over in a certain section of coil). Do you have any advice on what else the problem could be? I am fairly sure I installed the heater correctly, since it was pretty straightforward, but let me know if there is anything I might have missed. Thank you.
1 Answer Liz, We would need to have the model number of the unit to assist properly but if this unit has a defrost timer then the timer would be the issue. Read More...
Richard October 27, 2015 for Model Number TFX25PRYDBB The back panel on my GE Profile TFX25PRYD BB freezer freezes over. The drain is clear and the door closes tightly. Do I need to replace the thermostat heaters? If not, what else could be the problem? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Richard, This is most commonly caused by a failed defrost heater harness assembly WR51X443. Read More...
Eve March 11, 2014 for Model Number pds21sbmabs Panel on bottom freezer ices over and refrigerator is not as cold as it should be.
1 Answer Hello Eve. Look for a clogged drain. Also, make sure the evaporator fan motor is running good and the freezer door is sealing good on the unit. Read More...
