This defrost heater warms the evaporator during the automatic defrost cycle to melt built-up frost. Clearing ice restores proper airflow and stable temperatures so your refrigerator and freezer can maintain consistent cooling. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator coil to remove frost during defrost cycles
• Helps prevent ice buildup that restricts airflow to the fresh food section
• Common symptoms include heavy frost on the evaporator cover, weak airflow, or warming temperatures
• Indicated by fan noise from ice contact or longer-than-normal run times

• 1 defrost heater

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow any ice to melt or carefully defrost the area
• Access the evaporator behind the rear freezer panel; avoid damaging aluminum fins and foam insulation
• Transfer any original clips/shields and route wiring exactly as factory
• Ensure tight electrical connections and the defrost thermostat/control are in good condition

Screw: 8-16 x 3/8 inch.

• Helps prevent a loose or dangling thermostat that contribute to frost buildup and poor defrost performance
• Restores correct mounting when the original clip is cracked, bent, or missing
• Common signs include a broken clip or a thermostat not attached to the coil

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the evaporator compartment; remove accumulated frost/ice as needed without prying on coil fins
• Position the thermostat body flat against the tubing and snap the retainer over it, avoiding pinched wires or damaged fins
• Confirm a secure fit and proper wire routing before reassembling and restoring power

• Helps address loose or rattling panels or covers that won't stay secured
• Supports proper alignment and retention of internal components

• Disconnect power; shut off water and/or gas before servicing
• Match the new screw to the original location and length; replace like-for-like
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the correct driver for the head style
• Tighten snugly; do not overtighten into plastic or thin sheet metal

Size; 8-18 x 1/2 inch.

This genuine OEM return spring restores proper return/tension for the appliance component it connects to, helping controls, latches or hinges snap back into place. Replacing a worn spring can stop sticking, sagging or failed return action. What it does:

• Provides tension to return a lever, latch or door component to its resting position
