This defrost heater melts frost and ice buildup on the evaporator so the freezer can maintain proper airflow and cooling. Replacing a failed heater helps reduce excessive icing and restores normal cooling performance. What it does:

• Heats the evaporator coil during the defrost cycle to remove frost and ice buildup.
• Restores airflow and cooling efficiency when frost accumulation is preventing proper cooling.
• Common symptom link: heavy frost or visible ice on evaporator coils.
• Common symptom link: freezer running continuously or temperatures that are warmer than expected.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Access the evaporator by removing the freezer rear panel; avoid sharp sheet-metal edges.
• Inspect mounting clips and wiring; replace only if damaged and reconnect all terminals securely.
• Test the heater for electrical continuity with a multimeter before and after installation; restore power and confirm the defrost cycle operates normally.

The EVAPORATOR INSULATOR is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is a heat-resistant insulating pad or wrap that surrounds the evaporator coils. The insulator works to retain cool air and prevent warmer air from entering the refrigerated compartment.  

Causes of a bad insulator can include deterioration or breakdown of insulating properties over time due to aging materials. Cracks, holes, or compressed sections of the insulator result in reduced insulation performance.

Symptoms of a bad evaporator insulator include:

• Inconsistently cool or warmer fridge temperatures 
• Frost or ice buildup on evaporator coils or surrounding areas
• Higher than normal electric bills from inefficient cooling
• Warm or cold spots inside refrigerator shelves and compartments

This OEM Frigidaire replacement insulator is compatible with some Kitchenaid, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore side-by-side refrigerator models. 

The Defrost Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component plays a crucial role in the defrost system, monitoring and regulating the temperature to ensure proper defrosting of the evaporator coils.

Causes of a faulty defrost thermostat can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive temperature fluctuations or moisture, or electrical malfunctions.

Symptoms of needing to replace the defrost thermostat include:

• Improper defrosting or lack of defrosting
• Frost buildup on the evaporator coils
• The refrigerator running constantly or cycling frequently

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore refrigerator models.

The Defrost Timer is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire upright freezers. It serves as a crucial component responsible for regulating automatic defrost cycles.

Causes of a faulty defrost timer relate to 20,000+ hours of constant exposure to freezer temperatures as low as -10 degrees Fahrenheit. Such extremes can compromise electrical switching mechanisms over prolonged usage periods.

Symptoms of a failed defrost timer include:

• Inability to initiate automatic defrost modes  
• Excessive ice and frost accumulation inside cabinet
• Warm areas detected due to impaired fan circulation
• Diagnostic codes indicating defrosting problems

This genuine Frigidaire replacement part is compatible with Kelvinator and some Kenmore units as well.
