Refrigerator Switch Surface Element Parts

This replacement heater restores proper heat output to the feature that uses it, helping your appliance reach and maintain temperature for consistent results. When the original heater fails open or shorts, related cycles may not heat or take much longer.

• Converts electrical energy into heat within the appliance's heating circuit
• Maintains target temperature during the selected function
• Common symptoms: no heat in the related feature, extended preheat/warm-up, uneven results, or heating-circuit error codes
• Visible signs can include breaks, burn spots, or an open element on continuity testing

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug before servicing; allow components to cool
• Note wire positions and fasteners for accurate reassembly; transfer any reusable clips/insulators
• Handle the element carefully—avoid bending or striking; make clean, tight electrical connections
• After installation, run a brief test cycle to ensure proper heating

This defrost heater assembly melts frost from the evaporator during the defrost cycle to keep air flowing and maintain consistent temperatures. Replacing a failed heater helps restore proper cooling performance and prevents excessive frost buildup.

• Heats the evaporator coil during defrost to clear ice and frost
• Helps resolve symptoms like heavy frost/ice on the evaporator, poor cooling, or warm fridge/cold freezer imbalance
• Can address frequent evaporator fan icing or blocked air passages

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow any ice to thaw safely
• Access is typically behind the rear panel of the freezer compartment
• Handle the heater and wiring carefully; avoid bending or stressing terminals
• Verify proper placement of any clips/shields and wiring connections match original

This defrost heater melts frost and ice buildup on the evaporator so the freezer can maintain proper airflow and cooling. Replacing a failed heater helps reduce excessive icing and restores normal cooling performance. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator coil during the defrost cycle to remove frost and ice buildup.
• Restores airflow and cooling efficiency when frost accumulation is preventing proper cooling.
• Common symptom link: heavy frost or visible ice on evaporator coils.
• Common symptom link: freezer running continuously or temperatures that are warmer than expected.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Access the evaporator by removing the freezer rear panel; avoid sharp sheet-metal edges.
• Inspect mounting clips and wiring; replace only if damaged and reconnect all terminals securely.
• Test the heater for electrical continuity with a multimeter before and after installation; restore power and confirm the defrost cycle operates normally.

• Opens/closes the circuit to interrupt or allow power to related components
• A failed switch can prevent heating, stop self-clean from starting, or keep the door from locking/unlocking
• Helps protect wiring and controls from damage during abnormal conditions

• Disconnect power to the appliance and allow all components to cool before servicing
• Access location varies by model; take photos and label wires before removal
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new switch; secure with existing hardware
• If the old switch tripped due to overheating or binding, inspect fans, vents, and latch/linkages to correct the root cause
