Description

Defrost heater that melts frost and ice from the freezer evaporator to help maintain proper cooling and airflow. Replacing a failed heater restores normal defrost cycles and reduces recurring frost buildup. What it does:

• Warms the evaporator during defrost cycles to remove accumulated frost and ice.
• Helps prevent blocked airflow that can cause uneven cooling or temperature fluctuations.
• Common symptoms of a failing heater: excessive frost/ice on the evaporator, reduced cooling performance, or persistent icing in the freezer compartment.
• Verify electrical continuity of the heater before replacing.

What's included: One defrost heater. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service.
• Access typically requires removing the evaporator cover and thawing heavy ice first.
• Handle evaporator fins and refrigeration components carefully to avoid damage.
• Refer to your model's service manual for removal, wiring, and mounting details.
