  • Helps maintain airflow and cooling performance between compartments
  • Failure may cause heavy frost on the back wall/evaporator cover
  • Can lead to reduced cooling, long run times, or fan noise from ice contact
What's included: One defrost heater. Install notes:
  • Disconnect power before servicing; wear appropriate gloves.
  • Remove freezer shelves/ice maker as needed and the rear panel to access the evaporator area.
  • Defrost any ice buildup and avoid damaging evaporator fins or wiring.
  • Reuse original mounting hardware/clips as needed; check the defrost thermostat and control if frost issues continue.

Hello Patrick, the manufacturer does not supply us with the specifications of the defrost heater. The best way to know the part is compatible is to use your model number. Hope this helps!

John, No, the defrost heater is not likely to be rated for 220 VAC. Without a model number, it's hard to tell, but what parts we could cross reference from similar model refrigerators all electrical components are rated at 110-120 VAC and 15 amps or less. Get us a model number and we can most likely cross reference a defrost heater rated for 220 VAC. Thanks
