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
