Lfxs26596d /01 Parts

This sheath-style heater melts frost from the evaporator during automatic defrost cycles to keep airflow clear and temperatures stable. Replacing a failed heater helps stop recurring ice buildup and restore consistent cooling performance.

• Heats the evaporator to melt accumulated frost/ice during defrost
• Keeps air passages clear to maintain proper temperatures
• Helps prevent frost-packed evaporator covers and reduced cooling
• Common symptoms: heavy frost behind the freezer panel, fan noise from ice contact, weak cooling, long run times

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow any sharp edges to be avoided with cut-resistant gloves
• Access is typically behind the freezer's rear interior panel; remove shelves/drawers and panel to reach the evaporator
• Transfer any clips/sensors attached to the heater in the same positions; avoid bending fins or puncturing refrigerant lines
• Ensure connectors are fully seated and the heater is secured before restoring power and monitoring operation

The Tray Assy, Drawer is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. This drawer tray provides organized storage and easy access to items in the lower refrigerator compartment. It slides smoothly in and out on metal rails, allowing for convenient loading and unloading of refrigerated goods.

Causes of a bad drawer tray can be heavy use over time wearing down the sliding mechanism, objects left in the drawer sliding around and abrading the rails, or possible misalignment from accidental bumps.

Symptoms of a bad drawer tray include:

• Difficulty opening and closing the drawer
• Items inside shifting excessively during opening and closing
• The drawer not fully extending out or sliding back in smoothly

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.
