• Helps reduce repeat frost/ice accumulation caused by a shifted or loose heater
• Typical clues include a loose heater, uneven frost pattern, or rattling near the evaporator

• Disconnect power and allow ice to melt before accessing the evaporator
• Use care around sharp fins and fragile refrigerant tubing; do not puncture or deform the coil
• Position the heater per your model's parts diagram and tighten the strap for firm, even contact
• Verify wiring is routed clear of the fan and moving parts before reassembly
