Description

This defrost heater melts frost and ice from the refrigerator evaporator so the cooling system runs efficiently and food stays properly chilled. Replaces a failed or burned heater element to restore automatic defrost function. What it does:

• Warms the evaporator coil during defrost cycles to remove frost buildup
• Helps prevent ice-related cooling problems, long run times, or clogged drain issues
• Commonly replaced when the defrost system fails or the freezer develops heavy frost
• Works with the refrigerator's defrost control and thermostat to clear ice automatically

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

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access the evaporator by removing the freezer evaporator cover or back panel
• Handle the heater carefully to avoid damaging the coil fins or heating element; replace mounting clips or insulation as needed
• Test defrost continuity and the defrost system components if the oven still fails to defrost after installation
