This defrost heater assembly melts frost from the evaporator during the automatic defrost cycle to keep airflow clear and temperatures stable. Replacing a failed heater helps restore consistent cooling and prevents ice buildup that blocks the freezer wall. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator coil to melt accumulated frost/ice during scheduled defrosts
• Keeps airflow paths clear to maintain proper temperatures
• Helps prevent excessive frost on the back panel or evaporator
• Common symptoms of a failed heater include heavy ice buildup, weak airflow, warmer fresh-food temps, and longer run times

• 1 defrost heater assembly

• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; wear gloves—sheet metal edges can be sharp
• Access the heater behind the freezer's rear panel at the evaporator
• Note wire routing and connector orientation; secure the new element as originally mounted
• After installation, clear any remaining ice so airflow is restored before powering on

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This component monitors the evaporator temperature. It activates warming to defrost the evaporator once the temperature reaches a certain point.

Over time, the defrost thermostat can fail due to electrical issues, exposure to fluctuating temperatures, or general wear and tear. A malfunctioning thermostat can lead to excessive frost buildup, affecting the refrigerator’s cooling efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad defrost thermostat include:

• Excessive frost buildup in the freezer
• The refrigerator or freezer not maintaining the correct temperature
• Water leaks inside the refrigerator
• The defrost heater not activating during the defrost cycle

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This screw is a genuine General Electric part, sold individually. This screw can be used as a replacement part for a refrigerator. A screw can suffer damage in the lifespan of a refrigerator. It can also be easily lost or misplaced. Screws are small parts and are usually installed in multiples to ensure components are reliably attached, so one screw loosening or going missing might not necessarily affect the operability of the refrigerator. However, if the components loosen or the screw suffers damage that strips the part, such as punctures or erosion to the metal material from general wear and tear or from a direct impact, the screw should be removed and replaced with this genuine OEM replacement part. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is sold individually. This screw is compatible with the following appliance brands: General Electric, Hotpoint, RCA, and Americana.
