Defrost Heater Parts

This heater is the electric heating element assembly that warms air in the dryer so clothes dry efficiently. Replaces a failed element to restore normal drying performance and reduce extended dry times. What it does

• Generates the heat required for an electric dryer to dry clothes.
• Commonly used when the dryer runs but fails to heat or takes much longer to dry.
• A damaged or open element can cause no-heat or intermittent heating symptoms.
• Can also cause unusual smells or tripped thermal cutoffs if the element shorts or shorts to housing.

• One heater (heating element assembly) as shown.

• Disconnect power at the breaker before starting—this is a high-voltage part.
• Inspect and test related safety parts (thermal fuse, thermostat, wiring) when replacing the heater.
• Follow the appliance manufacturer's service manual for disassembly and torque/spec requirements.

This heater is the OEM-style heating-element assembly that restores normal heat in compatible appliances. It replaces a worn or failed element so the unit can heat reliably and complete cycles as designed. What it does:

• Converts electrical power into heat to warm the appliance cavity or drum
• Commonly used when the appliance no longer produces sufficient heat
• Can cause tripped breakers or extended run times if the element is burned or shorted
• Works as part of the appliance's heating system with thermostats and safety controls

• One heater

• Disconnect all power before replacing the heater to avoid electric shock
• Handle the element carefully to avoid bending or damaging terminals and mounting tabs
• After installation, restore power and test the appliance for correct heating and proper operation

This heater fill tube assembly routes water into the appliance's heater area to ensure proper water flow and prevent contact with electrical components. It replaces damaged or worn tubes to help stop leaks and restore normal fill operation. What it does:

• Directs incoming water to the heater/tub area so the appliance can heat and circulate water correctly
• Shields the heating element and electrical connections from direct water exposure
• Common symptom fixes: visible leaks, water pooling, or interrupted fill cycles
• Helps prevent intermittent heating issues caused by improper water routing

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before beginning repair
• Verify correct orientation and seating of any seals, grommets or clamps during installation
• Handle clips and plastic fittings gently to avoid breakage; replace damaged fasteners as needed

This defrost heater melts frost and ice from the evaporator to help restore normal airflow and cooling performance. It replaces a failed heater to reduce excessive frost buildup and repeated frost cycles. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator during the defrost cycle so accumulated frost and ice melt away
• Helps prevent airflow restriction and reduced cooling caused by frozen evaporator coils
• Commonly replaced when you see excessive frost, frequent defrost cycles, or poor cooling in the refrigerator/freezer
• Works with the freezer's defrost control system (timer/thermostat/board) to run only during defrost

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Inspect surrounding components (defrost thermostat/thermistor and wiring) for damage; replace if faulty
• Handle the evaporator and heater carefully—avoid bending coils or damaging fins
