Defrost cycle was not working frost in the freezer department Charles B. • Yorktown Hts. , NY • September 19, 2014
First replaced defrost timer which tested OK - but reasonable price and easy to replace. When that did not fix the problem replaced the defrost thermostat and defrost heater. That fixed the problem. However all three parts tested OK ?? May have been a loose connection or intermittent problem with one of the parts. Final cost for all three parts was much cheaper than a service call!!

Warm fridge freezer not defrosting. Jason L. • Penfield , NY • July 06, 2020
IMPORTANT: Defrost heater was more difficult to install around the evaporator coils than the APP installation videos show, but it can be installed. See below.
FIRST: Unplug the fridge/freezer!
I tested the thermostat, mechanical defrost timer, and the defrost heater with a ohmmeter and determined that the heater was bad.
NOTE: Thermostat must be cold in order to be tested; otherwise, the switch inside won't close and you won't get a reading from the ohmmeter. Take a can of compressed air,...

Refrigerator freezer was working but was not getting cold on the refrigerator side Tim W. • Sanford , NC • September 13, 2015
Replaced the defrost heater, Temp sensor, and defrost thermostat. I'm pretty sure the defrost heater was the only faulty part, but I replaced the other parts to be safe. Took me about 20 minutes start to finish. I know the defrost heater was bad because it failed the continuity test.
Parts were delivered within 3 days! This is the second time using Appliancepartspros.com and I will not go anywhere else.
Thank you!

Genuine Whirlpool part
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: W11087201
This is a small heating element that wraps around or sits near the ice maker fill tube to prevent water from freezing inside the tube between fill cycles. It keeps the pathway clear so water can flow freely into the ice maker mold. Replace this heater if the fill tube is clogged with ice, the ice maker stops producing ice, or you notice water backing up and leaking near the fill tube area.

The freezer section of an amana bci20tw was not getting cold enough and the back panel in the freezer was covered in ice Jeff H. • Gettysburg , PA • January 27, 2025
After doing some research, I guessed it was either a faulty defrost timer, defrost thermostat, defrost heater, or some combination of those. Using part location diagrams for my Amana BC120TW I started by looking for the evaporator coils since they obviously weren't producing enough cold. Upon removing the evaporator coil cover, I found the evaporator coils frozen into 1 solid block of ice. Using a heat gun, I carefully defrosted the coils so I could access the defrost thermostat and heater...

Refrigerator tripping arc fault circuit breaker William H. • Wilmot , WI • June 27, 2015
White Westinghouse refrigerator door was accidentally left open over night when it was humid, and moisture condensed on the interior. In the morning the arc fault circuit breaker was tripped. Tried letting the unit dry out, but it would still trip the breaker as an arc fault. Started unplugging various components, compressor, evaporator fan, finally the defrost heater before it could be plugged in without tripping the breaker. Although the defrost heater's resistance measured normally, when it...

Genuine Frigidaire part
By: Frigidaire
Part Number: 5304521699
The Wiring Harness is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. As the complex network distributes power throughout the cabinet, this harness is crucial for seamless communication between electrical parts. Its bundled cables provide synchronized functioning of all refrigerator operations.
Symptoms of a faulty wiring harness can include:
- Lights, fans, or features randomly activating or shutting off
- Door open or cooling light failure despite replacement of lightbulbs
- Intermittent buzzing, humming, or crackling sounds from wires
- Water leaks or blown fuses due to short circuits from damaged insulation
Causes involve normal insulation breakdown from years of vibration, heat cycling, and flexing stress. Rodent damage or pinched/cut wires may also disrupt circuits.
Replace it with this genuine Frigidaire harness to restore a consolidated and durable part, avoiding further diagnostics and piecemeal replacements down the line. Compatible with some Electrolux, Gibson, and Kenmore models.

Movers ran over the power cord while moving the fridge and stripped the insulation to bare wire in several sections of the power Jason B. • Spencer , IN • May 11, 2017
I removed the cardboard cover on the back of the fridge with a 1/4 inch nut driver. I disconnected all of the wire harness connections. There were a total of 6 or 7. I removed the bolts on the compressor so I could access the ground wires behind the compressor. I removed the ground wires behind the compressor as well as the ones in front of the compressor. I installed the new power harnesss. The connections were easy to do since you can only hook them up one way and they are color coded. I...
