The Defrost Heater Assembly is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It is responsible for preventing excessive frost buildup on the evaporator coils by heating them during the defrost cycle.

A bad defrost heater assembly can be caused by electrical issues, component failure, or damage. When the defrost heater assembly becomes faulty, it can result in issues such as excessive frost accumulation in the freezer, poor cooling performance, or even a complete defrost system failure.

Symptoms of a bad defrost heater assembly include:

• Excessive frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils
• Poor cooling in the refrigerator or freezer 
• Water leaking or pooling under the refrigerator
• Refrigerator running continuously 

Replace your faulty defrost heater assembly with this genuine OEM Frigidaire part to restore your refrigerator. This Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
 

This aluminum strap secures the defrost heater firmly against the evaporator coil to maintain proper contact during defrost. Correct contact improves heat transfer so frost melts evenly and helps prevent recurring ice buildup on the evaporator.

• Secures the defrost heater to the evaporator for proper contact and heat transfer
• Promotes complete, even defrosting across the evaporator coil
• 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
